Mental health, exam stress, school work, bullying, body image and feeling safe in the community, are the main concerns facing young people in Northamptonshire.

Young people have been praised as change-makers at a birthday bash to mark two years of their involvement in shaping local health and wellbeing services.

For the young people involved with NHFT’s Youth Advisory Board, co-production is about so much more than having their voices heard – it’s about growing their confidence and having fun too.

An innovative 'befriending' scheme where volunteers make ‘check in calls’ to families of children waiting for neuro-developmental assessments is proving a success.

Children and young people can now benefit from a brand new service from Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) to support their learning, growth and wellbeing.

Integrated Care Northamptonshire has published the 2023/24 refresh of the county's Children and Young People’s Mental Health Local Transformation Plan.

It’s a clear case of ‘puppy love’ in Northampton thanks to a trainee ‘therapy dog’ who is helping children and young people on their journey with a local eating disorders support service.

It was celebration time, as young people joined NHFT colleagues for a birthday party to mark a fantastic year of collaboration. 

Children and young people, who are struggling with their mental health, are being reminded that there are lots of ways they can get help and support.
