Lot 1 — Support for young people dealing with stress.

The service will aim to deliver support to the young people with emotional

health needs related to stress and anxiety below the threshold for Tier Two

CAMHS services across Richmond and Kingston. For young people who meet the threshold for Tier Two support, they will be

eligible for support from Achieving for Children's (AfC's) Emotional Health Service. At Tier 3, services will

be provided by South West London and St Georges, Child and Adolescent

Mental Health Services (CAMHs).

AfC is seeking to provide a service for young people, and potentially their

families, to ensure that low level mental health concerns, particularly those

which are stress related, are met by the service to prevent any escalation.

The objective will be to provide young people, across both boroughs, with

ways of coping with stress to ensure a good level of emotional well-being. A

further objective will be to ensure that the parents are engaged with the

counselling and are aware of their own behaviour, particularly in relation to

exam stress.

Lot 2 — young people dealing with bereavement or significant loss

Achieving for Children is seeking a support service for children and young

people who live in Kingston or Richmond who are suffering from bereavement

or significant loss. The objective is to support young people through a

traumatic and turbulent period of their lives and provide young people with

ways of coping with the loss they feel.

The service commencement date is 3.10.2016.
