PROJECT
Forward Thinking Birmingham's Pause service
PURPOSE
To enable under-25s to access immediate support for emotional and mental health difficulties
FUNDING
Pause is sub-contracted to The Children's Society by Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust for £500,000 a year
BACKGROUND
Birmingham's three clinical commissioning groups started a tender process in 2014 for a new children and young people's mental health service. Birmingham Children's Hospital brought together a consortium of agencies to bid for the service, including The Children's Society, which proposed the idea for the Pause drop-in centre as a means of extending access to mental health support for more young people. The charity delivers Pause as part of Forward Thinking Birmingham, the new service delivered by the consortium since April last year.
