By fully involving the individual, and where possible/appropriate their families, positive attitudes, behaviour and aspirations are encouraged which assists in them developing resilience to overcome the challenges that they may face now and in the future.
Cllr Andrew Atkinson, Lead Member for Youth Services said, “I am delighted that Inspire continues to support young people within the Maelor Hospital.
“This project is a great example of public services thinking differently and working together to improve the lives of young people.”
Inspire also deliver informal education sessions in schools and youth clubs around emotional health, and visit young people admitted to hospital wards on a daily basis to support them during their stay.
