About The Reach Partnership

The REACH partnership is an umbrella organisation of Northamptonshire based youth counselling and emotional wellbeing support agencies. The REACH partnership delivers a range of counselling and support services to young people. The partnership is commissioned to deliver mental health support to young people transitioning from adolescent to adult services.

RE:Start Team

Youth Works, on behalf of the REACH partnership of Youth Counselling services in Northamptonshire have been commissioned by NHS Northamptonshire to deliver an exciting service to support young people making the transition from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services to Adult Mental Health Services.

This can be a difficult and challenging time for many young people. Support is offered to young people via a referral system. The Re:Start Service will introduce young adults to the comprehensive crisis pathway available across Northamptonshire, and will ensure co-produced, personalised Safety Plans for each young adult, to help avoid unnecessary attendance at emergency departments. Progress is monitored through an agreed outcome measure.

The Service uses a 'Personal Assistant (PA)' approach to ensure a flexible, holistic approach to care. It has the capacity to work with CYP from 16 years - building trust and gaining a robust understanding of needs - and to remain involved with young adults up to the age of 25 to ensure a gradual transition into adulthood.

The ethos and culture of the service will be solution-focused, strengths-based, personalised, flexible and will be able to work with a complex set of needs, regardless of diagnosis.

There are two teams of support workers, one in the north of the county and one in the west based at the Lowdown in Northampton where this role is based.
