Harrow Young Adult Mental Health Partnership 2022-2023
The report for the Harrow Young Adult Mental Health Partnership pilot offers a comprehensive overview of the outcomes achieved by young people aged 16-25 who engaged with various mental health services. The report also covers a brief evaluation of how the partnership worked in its pilot year and the shared learning for service partners and deliverers.
The pilot focused specifically on initiatives designed by five organisations in Harrow through the Young Harrow Foundation to enhance young people’s mental health and overall well-being.
Through this funding we have started to bridge the gap for services for young adults aged 1625. We have also amplified the pivotal role of service delivery organisations within the sector and the broader community. Despite facing challenges, such as high demand and recruitment issues, these delivery organisations have made a tangible difference in the lives of young adults.
204 children and young people were supported through the programme.
The two main aims of the programme were:
- To build partnerships between the NHS and organisations that support young adult mental health.
- To improve young adult (aged 16-25) mental health and well-being through one or all of the following:
- Addressing inequalities
- Better identifying unmet need
- Improving equality of access to early intervention and wellbeing support
- Engagement and navigation of support
