Children’s Mental Health Week 2023

January 23, 2023

No child or young person should have to face mental health problems on their own. We’re proud to be supporting and celebrating this years #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Liverpool CAMHS partners have a busy programme of engaging events and activities for families and professionals to get involved with.

The annual NOW Festival takes place 6-9th February. This year the team has partnered with the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership, and young people from across the Liverpool City Region will be sharing their voices on how this ‘Now’ issue impacts mental health.

The theme is mental health and violence prevention. From racism, sexual harassment, online abuse, homophobic abuse, hate crime, and many more topics that will be explored, we will be hearing what children and young people have to say about this subject.

The Liverpool WSA Partnership encourages people to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways. Working in partnership with Seedlings, Mental Health Support Team practitioners and the LFC Foundations, they will be delivering a series of live, interactive sessions:

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
