We are preparing to launch a new service for children and young people in Medway, The Medway Therapeutic Alliance. During this period, new referrals will not begin therapy under the current SIT/BRAVE services.
North Kent Mind has been funded by Medway Council to deliver the Short Intervention Therapy (SIT) project from September 2023- March 2026. This project supports children & young people in Medway aged 5-18 with a social worker or Family Solutions worker supporting them (including those who do not attend school), and those 18 -25 with Special Educational Needs or Care leavers, experiencing emotional dysregulation and associated behaviours.
We will deliver therapeutic services for children and young people in blocks of between 6-12 weeks. These therapy services include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behaviour Informed Therapy (DBT) and Creative therapy.
Please note: Our service mainly provides support through group-based interventions. Individual sessions are limited and based on assessed need.
Children and young people can be referred by a Social Worker, Personal Advisors (for care leavers without a Social Worker) or Family Solutions worker, GP/Nurse or professional of CAMHS/NELFT, or by requesting a referral form over email.
If you would like to contact the team to discuss the project or make a referral, please email: shortinterventiontherapy@northkentmind.co.uk
