South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust
South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust employs over 8,300 people who together make up #TeamSTSFT. Their staff work in lots of different locations doing lots of different things. They look after people at home, in the community and in hospital. They work in local health centres, schools and GP practices as well as their hospitals.
Within this are their services for Children and Young People, which includes Sunderland Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) -a team of professionals who offer support and advice to aid mental health and positive well-being. This service works with children and young people aged 0-18 who may be showing signs of emotional distress and/or behavioural difficulties. The aim is to deal with such difficulties at the earliest possible stage of intervention in the hope that children and young people will develop skills and resilience to promote positive well-being.
