Children and Young Peoples Targeted Emotional Wellbeing MH Services in Harrow

NHS NW London ICB required the Provision of Children and Young Peoples Targeted Emotional Wellbeing Mental Health Services in Harrow.

The Harrow Council and NHS North West London Integrated Care Board are joint commissioners of the service and may be referred to as the Commissioning Lead or Commissioners.

Historically, the London Borough of Harrow and NHS North West London Integrated Care Board ("NHS NW London ICB") have commissioned an emotional wellbeing service (EWB) called Harrow Horizons since April 2017 whose primary focus is to provide early intervention and prevention with the aim of supporting children and young people aged 0-19 (up to 25 with SEND) to overcome mild to moderate difficulties.

The new service will continue to be aimed at supporting families and carers who are most in need by improving mental health and emotional wellbeing.

This service will offer a blended model of training, support, advice and consultation for families and carers, as well as those professionals involved in their care, alongside offering a range of time-limited evidence-based interventions to children, young people and their families/carers within a community setting or school.

The primary aim of the service is to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children and families and bring about positive change whilst helping support CYP to achieve their optimum emotional health and wellbeing, and to reduce health inequalities.

A service that builds resilience, enhances positive strengths and empowers children, young people, and their families/carers.
