Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service – East Lancashire (CYPMHS)

A high prevalence of young people the YJS work with experience poor mental health and difficulties with their emotional wellbeing, often as a result of adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s) and trauma they have been exposed to at a young age. It therefore follows that YJS have adopted a ‘child first’ and ‘trauma informed’ approach to its service delivery, with the role of Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service – East Lancashire (CYPMHS-East) within the team considered essential to the success and effectiveness of working with children and young people with related needs.
