East of England

A dedicated team of Children’s Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs) has been integrated into Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service, which is run by Virgin Care and Barnardo’s. In collaboration with school nurses and the wider education system, we’re improving evidence-based, tailored mental health outcomes for children and young people. When their mental health requirements miss the threshold for higher-tiered services, we offer mental health support to children and young people to not only care for them, but also to support their families and our communities as a whole.
