Based on review of stakeholder feedback and data, the ICB recommended that there is a need to develop and enhance access to trauma-informed, early intervention and prevention wellbeing and mental health support for Black and mixed heritage children.

This programme will start in Feb 2025 and last for an initial 18-month period.
