This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

Lot 1 - Support for young people dealing with stress.

The service will aim to deliver support to the young people with emotional health needs related to stress and anxiety below the threshold for Tier Two CAMHS services across Richmond and Kingston.

For young people who meet the threshold for Tier Two support, they will be eligible for support from AfC's Emotional Health Service.

At Tier 3, services will be provided by South West London and St Georges, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHs).

AfC is seeking to provide a service for young people, and potentially their families, to ensure that low level mental health concerns, particularly those which are stress related, are met by the service to prevent any escalation.

The objective will be to provide young people, across both boroughs, with ways of coping with stress to ensure a good level of emotional well-being.

A further objective will be to ensure that the parents are engaged with the counselling and are aware of their own behaviour, particularly in relation to exam stress.

Lot 2 - young people dealing with bereavement or significant loss.

Achieving for Children is seeking a support service for children and young people who live in Kingston or Richmond who are suffering from bereavement or significant loss.

The objective is to support young people through a traumatic and turbulent period of their lives and provide young people with ways of coping with the loss they feel.
