Description

NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board are inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express their interest in the provision of a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) informed therapy service.
The aim of this service is to provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) informed therapy for 5-18s, delivered by a team of Children's Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs), Senior CWPs and other senior roles, including management and clinical supervision.
Clinical supervision will also be provided for a team of CWPs embedded within Norfolk County Council.
CWPs are trained to offer guided self-help to children, young people and families with mild to moderate anxiety, low mood and common behavioural problems.
The brief focused evidence-based interventions provided by CWPs are in the form of low intensity support and guided self-help to young people who demonstrate mild/moderate:
Anxiety (primary and secondary school age)
Low mood (adolescents)
Common behavioural difficulties (working with parents for under 8s).
Delivery of CBT informed therapy expected outcomes:

people (CYP) and their families through:
Better evidence-based practice - increasing the availability and knowledge of best evidence based interventions
Better collaborative practice - goal focused and client centred interventions, using
feedback tools to facilitate better working between mental health professionals and families
and young people, leading to more personalised care
Improved service user participation - children, young people and their families having a
voice and influence at all levels of the organisation
Improved cross agency working - encouraging and supporting cross agency collaboration
between Health, Social Care and the voluntary and independent sectors
More accountable services - through the rigorous monitoring of clinical outcomes to be
able to share outcomes with young people and families and demonstrate effectiveness to commissioners
Increased awareness - working in partnership with organisations delivering mental health
services, and those in other sectors working with young people and families to increase
understanding of the importance of well-being and decrease stigma.
