The service offers therapeutic one-to-one, group work and counselling support to children and young people aged 5 to 18 (extending to 25 years based on SEN need).
Children And Family Wellbeing Service
The Children and Family Wellbeing Service (CFW) offers a wide range of support across the 0-19yrs+ age range (25 years for SEND) with a 'whole family' approach.
The service identifies as early as possible when a child, young person or family needs support, helping them to access services to meet their needs, working with them to ensure the support offered is right for them, is offered in the right place, and at the right time.
The main focus of the service is to provide an enhanced level of support to individual children, young people or families with higher levels of need. Service resources are prioritised towards identified priority target groups or individuals at risk who are assessed using Lancashire's Early Help Assessment and Plan (EHA/EHP) as having more complex or intensive needs.
