The Children and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) centre for Wigan and Leigh has been transformed from a tired old building to a centre with a ‘sense of belonging’.
The Helping Hands Centre in Ince, run by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH), now boasts a brand new sensory room, therapeutic areas and treatment rooms thanks to a £500,000 overhaul. The unit supports young people up to the age of 18 who live in the borough and are experiencing mental health problems which may be causing difficulties in their school, family or social life.
The service works together with young people alongside their families, schools and people who know them best, to assess and co-develop a plan to help improve and manage their mental health.
