The organisations delivering Open Minds employ a team of qualified practitioners with a wide range of skills and backgrounds who deliver mental health interventions to children, young people and families.

Delivery partners in Calderdale Open Minds are Northpoint Wellbeing, South West Yorkshire NHS Partnership Foundation Trust (SWYFT), and Kooth. You can find out more about the different organisations that provide Open Minds  on the FAQ page.

We work alongside other organisations, including children’s social care, schools, school nurses, and other community-based organisations.

The Open Minds Partnership’s approach is based on a person’s individual need. It focusses on making help and support accessible through organisations working together to provide emotional health and wellbeing services.

Partner organisations work closely and share knowledge so a young person should only tell their story once, before being signposted to the right place for support, advice or treatment.

There is a comprehensive network of emotional health and wellbeing services in Calderdale, including those who form part of the wider Open Minds Partnership. We work closely with partner agencies to help ensure that the holistic needs of children, young people and families are met. Our partners’ website has details of a wide range of local and national support services.
