Overview
Turning Tides is a two-year pilot programme testing innovative means of protecting and promoting the mental health and wellbeing of vulnerable young people along the North Yorkshire Coast.
Over 20% of young people have a probable mental health disorder with significantly more facing mental health challenges. With a growing chasm between the services available through adolescent and adult mental health services and what is required, preventative, non-clinical and non-medicalised support is crucial for managing demand on downstream services and to offer real hope of changing the trajectory and outcomes for young people starting to struggle with their wellbeing and mental health.
Turning Tides leverages local organisations and their expertise, providing each young person a dedicated coach to work collectively to address self-identified challenges and ambitions, matching these with opportunities within the community.
The programme has been developed collaboratively with input from Local Authority and NHS stakeholders and is funded by Anglo American. Post the pilot phase, the intention is to launch a longer-term, cross-sector outcomes partnership, building on the evidence and learning captured over the initial two-year phase.
Outcomes
Turning Tides is providing personalised support to over 90 young people. As the programme progresses, we will update this page with further outcomes achieved. Stay tuned!
