Join event on new service for young people's wellbeing

There will be an opportunity to learn more about a recently-launched service benefiting the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people across Northamptonshire.

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) is hosting a webinar called ‘Children and Young People iDiscover Service’ that aims to introduce a new learning platform designed to support young people under 25, their parents, carers and those that support them.

iDiscover provides a safe and engaging space for young people to explore their identity, personal growth, and wellbeing. It offers a variety of free and interactive activities, resources, and information, including workshops, courses, and webinars. Topics range from Dreaming of Sleep and Make Your Own Calm Kit to Level Up Your Online Safety and Take the Next Steps in Your Career with our employment and next steps courses and resources. There's something for everyone.

The virtual event takes place on Monday 11 November 2024, from 5pm.

Jo Fletcher, Children and Young People s Quality Assurance Lead at NHFT and iDiscover Service Manager, said: “iDiscover is a safe place for children and young people to connect with others as part of a friendly and supportive community where everyone is accepted. It is a place to learn new skills and develop the skills they already have - and to help young people feel more in control of their health, wellbeing and their lives.”

Sky, a 19-year-old who co-produced iDiscover with other young people, said: “It's so important that co-production has been at the heart of iDiscover from the very start, and I feel that even more strongly after seeing the difference that lived experience can really have. I am so hopeful for the impact that iDiscover will have on the young people of Northamptonshire.”
