Better Mental Health and Wellbeing - Local Services and Activities for Children and Young People
There are many services and projects in Sandwell to help the emotional health of children and young people. We use the i-Thrive model to show how kids can get different support as their needs change. Many children do well with help from friends, family, teachers, and others, but sometimes they need extra help. Watch the video and look at the diagram below to learn more about i-Thrive in Sandwell and how it can help you and your family.
