​We are a secondary mental health service offering support to children (0 to 14 years of age) and their families in East Suffolk.

We offer a full comprehensive assessment that looks at the holistic needs of the young child and their families.

We obtain information from all professionals involved in the care of the young persons to enable the best care and interventions to be offered.

We have direct and non-direct interventions to ensure tailored packages of care are offered to the young person.

We are a team of highly skilled practitioners who work alongside policies and procedures as well as evidence based practice.

 
We work alongside the CPA framework so your care needs are reviewed and adjusted as young people embark on their recovery.
