Children's services for emotional health and wellbeing

  • How are you feeling?
    How are you feeling is a mental health and wellbeing site that has been co-designed with young people from Hull and the CCG. The aim of the site is to help children, young people and their families to understand emotional and mental health issues, to promote self-help tips and techniques, and to help to make the ‘system’ easier to navigate within local services.

The following services are in place in Hull provided by Humber NHS Foundation Trust. Click on the links to find out more.

Our Vision

The CCG’s vision is for children and young people in Hull who have mental health issues to have access to timely, integrated, multi-disciplinary mental health services which will ensure effective assessment, treatment and support for them and their families.

Working in close partnership with a number of local agencies, we aim to build emotional resilience in children and young people in Hull, to enable them to respond to life’s challenges, and to ensure that they are supported by the right person, at the right time. We want children and young people to know how, and where, they can access support when they need it. With our partners, our aim is to reduce reliance on specialist services and to provide enhanced early intervention and support.

Headstart Hull

Hull City Council and NHS Hull CCG, along with other partners, have been working to develop an early intervention model to improve outcomes for children and young people’s emotional health and wellbeing. The Headstart Hull Core Team sits within Hull City Council's early help services and has successfully secured five years funding from the Big Lottery. Headstart provide a range of interventions aimed at giving young people (age 10 – 16) the support and skills needed to cope with life’s challenges, and do well at school and in life. Headstart are also working closely with schools in Hull to support all members of the school team to understand and recognise their responsibility to support you people’s emotional health and wellbeing.
