Case Study How Carlisle Eden Mind increased mental health services for children and young people (CYP) with digital therapys

During the Covid period rates of probable mental health disorders in children and young people aged between 6 and 16 years old increased from 1 in 9 to 1 in 6 .

COVID has led to a significant increase in demand for mental health support from children and young people who have the added uncertainty of the pandemic alongside the usual pressures they face, including from their studies.

Introducing the SilverCloud® by Amwell® platform has helped CE Mind to reach three times as many children and young people and provided a new, convenient and efficient way for Cumbria’s children and young people to access support and build their awareness and understanding of their mental health. It has helped CE Mind to find new ways of working and offer different support for children and young people across Cumbria.

CE Mind uses the SilverCloud® platfrom as part of a blended model of support for children and young people and schools, with the continuation of CE Mind’s face-to-face ‘Your Advocacy’ service, alongside the digital option that SilverCloud programmes provide.
