SHINE Fylde Coast Mental Health Support Team
Description
The SHINE Fylde Coast Mental Health Support Service is a service to support young people in achieving good mental well-being.
About us
The team's aim going forward is for young people across the Fylde Coast to know what to do to look after their emotional wellbeing. We aim to do this in a non-stigmatising way so that emotional wellbeing and mental health can be championed and talked about in exactly the same way as physical health.
We aim to offer timely, direct, psychological interventions to prevent deterioration of emotional wellbeing.
We want to get the right treatment to the right person at the right time and may signpost to a more appropriate local provider or support your referral to a specialist service(s).
How can we help
We can talk to you and your parent or carer about what you are finding difficult. We might work with you directly or with your parent to help you feel better. We might put you or your parent in touch with other professionals who can support you.
The team can help you build on skills to cope with:
- Low mood - sadness, low motivation
- Mild to moderate anxiety - worries, irrational fears and concerns
- Family and peer relationship difficulties
- Difficulty managing emotions for children and young people
- Difficulty adjusting to change and transition
- We provide low intensity CBT either one to one or in a group setting
How to contact us
The Senior Mental Health Lead in your education setting will have details of your EMHP and Mental Health Practitioner, alternatively, talk to your teacher or parent/carer about making a SHINE MHST referral for you.
If you have been referred to us we will contact you or your parents to discuss the difficulties you are experiencing and look at what you would like to change.
We offer one to one or group support at school or over the telephone or online.
