Gloucestershire’s Transformation Plan 2015-2020 1 | P a g e Gloucestershire’s Transformation Plan 2015-2020 FOREWORD In Gloucestershire we recognise that there is more to be done to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. Growing up is meant to be one of the very best times in anyone’s life but it can also be tough. Children and young people of this generation have new challenges to face including the prevalence of social media and the changing world of work. Some young people, such as children in care and those leaving care, are exposed to situations and experiences that can make them particularly vulnerable. We understand that the emotional wellbeing of children and young people has a significant impact on all areas of their lives including academic achievement and their relationships with friends and family. Mental health problems are common but it is often the case that children and young people don’t get the help they need as quickly as they should. If not addressed, mental health problems can continue into adulthood and can prevent some young people achieving their goals in life. We want this to change. We plan to work together across the wide range of agencies in Gloucestershire to help our young people to acquire the resilience and skills they need to face the challenges that come their way. We want our children and young people to be able to ask for help with their emotional problems when they need it and for the right kind of help to be given quickly in a way that suits that young person and their family. We will ensure that if a young person has a crisis, they will get extra help straight away, whatever time of day or night it is. We feel that together we can create a better system in which our children, young people and their families can thrive and achieve.
