We believe in the power of listening and being heard. The Mental Health Practitioner will build collaborative and kind relationships where people feel heard and understood, enabling people to access services and navigate routes to support. Referrals are received directly from the Thriving Families Team Manager and the Mental Health Practitioner will offer a range of support to families including 1:1 psycho-social support, community advocacy, making onward referrals, communicating with community, primary and secondary health care and assisting people in addressing practical needs.

• Experience of working with the whole family and collaboratively with other agencies to improve mental health.
• Knowledge about various ways to provide emotional and therapeutic support for people.
• Ability to work in an open and positive way that builds kind relationships and is receptive to and appreciative of the skills and talents of everyone.
