About the Project

Hertfordshire Mind Network is proud to provide early intervention support to children and young people experiencing poor mental health across Hertfordshire. We provide a combination of support through psychoeducational workshops, open access, 1:1 and group support.

We are expanding our provision, to offer drop in, open access community support to 10–18-year-olds across the county who need someone to talk to about their mental health in that moment. This space will offer timely support, in a person-centred, trauma informed way.

The objectives of Hertfordshire Mind Network’s Herts Haven Café service are:

To improve the mental wellbeing of children and young people experiencing mental health issues, including crisis presentations, in Hertfordshire. To provide drop in, no referral required, timely support to 10-18 year olds. To support children and young people in Hertfordshire to access community based mental health help. To increase early access to help for people experiencing mental health crisis in Hertfordshire, by providing a clear and effective pathway to services provided across the CYP MHS system.

As a practitioner you will meet the varying needs of the individual, as they present, meaning no day may look the same.

A person-centred approach will be maintained, and this role is pivotal to ensuring CYP have a warm and welcoming space to turn to. You will be working as a team to facilitate support, deliver brief mental health interventions, signposting, and ensure timely information, guidance and referrals are provided for ongoing support.

To ensure that every individual accessing the service receives, safe and trusted support. To create and review risk assessments, wellness plans, crisis support plans, safety plans, as well as signposting resources, as required. To proactively recognise indicators of deteriorating mental health and facilitate appropriate action, whilst liaising with relevant agencies e.g., C-CATT, Emergency Duty Teams, CYP MHS, etc. To work alongside Crisis Teams in line with joint protocols, where required, to support those individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. To signpost and refer effectively into other Herts Mind Network services, as well as alternative VCFSE and statutory organisations.
