Tender: Emotional and Mental Health Service for Looked After Children and Care Leavers – Wigan Council

About

Wigan Council is seeking a supplier to deliver a flexible, evidence-based, trauma-informed emotional and mental health service for children and young people in care and care leavers, including support for their carers and foster carers. The service will provide therapeutic and preventative interventions such as individual and group work, therapeutic parenting support, psychological consultation and formulation, systemic and dyadic approaches, assessments and evidence-based parenting programmes, working closely with social care teams to improve mental health, emotional wellbeing and resilience, prevent escalation to specialist services, and promote placement stability and permanence. Support must be available to Wigan children and young people in care placed both within and outside the Wigan Borough, delivered across appropriate venues with some out-of-hours provision where necessary.
