🌟On behalf of Cheshire and Merseyside Change and Integration Programme🌟- survey links in comments
Dear colleagues,
Imagine if just 10 minutes of your time could help transform the future of youth mental health across Cheshire & Merseyside.
We’re inviting you to take part in a short survey (just 10–15 minutes) that will directly influence how emotional wellbeing and early mental health support is funded and delivered for children and young people aged 5–25.
This is your chance to:
Make your organisation’s voice heard Represent the children and young people you support Drive real change in your community
Led by Change and Integration, in partnership with the VCSE sector, and commissioned by the 9 Directors of Children’s Services and the Integrated Care Board, this work will help shape the region’s youth strategy for years to come.
Your insights could help reduce hospital admissions, improve outcomes, and build a stronger, more supportive system for thousands of young people.
We’ll also be gathering the voices of children and young people in each area through attending youth cabinet meetings and via a CYP survey. Please share the CYP survey widely to help us hear from as many as possible! The link for the CYP survey is – forms.office.com/e/fWKekxYJcJ
Coming soon: Invitations to exclusive online events featuring inspiring guest speakers and the latest updates on youth mental health strategy. Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss it!
Thank you for being part of the movement to build brighter futures.

Introducing This is Me – a new tool to support neurodivergent children and young people
Based on feedback from parents, carers, children and young people, Cheshire and Merseyside have launched a new way of supporting children with neurodiverse needs. A key part of this is the This is Me profiling tool.
What is the This is Me profiling tool? The tool helps identify the strengths and needs of neurodivergent children and young people as early as possible.
It focuses on how a child thinks and learns differently, so that families, schools, and other professionals can work together to put the right support in place at home, at school, and in the community.
It involves children, young people and families completing the profile with a practitioner as the first step in accessing earlier help and tailored support.
The tool has already been used successfully implemented in Portsmouth and other areas. It has now been adapted for Cheshire and Merseyside.
When will it be available? In Halton, This is Me will be introduced from November, starting with a small number of children. This phased approach will allow us to test, learn, and improve the support we provide.
