Therapeutic Support
Seven Care Services provides therapeutic and psychological support to children and young people and families. Our team is headed by a lead Clinical Psychologist and is supported by further Clinical Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Mental Health Nurses and Play Specialists. All of whom have specialist skills with working with difficulties within this age group.
All children, young people and families will initially be offered an assessment (remotely or face to face) where the practitioner will work collectively to provide clients with a psychological understanding of their difficulties; identifying, where relevant, the presence of any specific diagnosable condition/s. We will provide a written report which includes plans and recommendations for help. Where appropriate, we can provide follow-on therapy, support, guidance and parenting courses.

Schools and Colleges
In line with the Government’s wider approach to children’s mental health, recommendations have been made for schools to place emphasis on the emotional well-being of the children and young people while in their care.
Results to date are positive with improved attainment, attendance, a reduction in behavioural problems all being evident, as well as happier, more confident and resilient pupils.
