We, along with Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust, are partners with OTR, which is a mental health social movement by young people, for young people aged 11-18.<\/p>\n

It was set up to support, promote and defend the mental health, rights and social position of young people.<\/p>\n

Russell Lee, Business Manager for Children\u2019s Services, attended the\u00a0OTR\u00a0North Somerset<\/a>\u00a0launch party on November 16th to celebrate the expansion. He said: \u201cSirona is committed to working alongside our partners OTR, Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, North Somerset Council, Parent Carer Forum and Bristol North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG to enhance our mental health services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event was great opportunity to come together as a partnership to celebrate the North Somerset expansion; the OTR service will be of huge benefit to the children and young people in North Somerset and we have already seen great engagement in the opening months.\u201d<\/p>\n

OTR provides group workshops and digital support to help young people cope with stress and learn how to build and maintain good mental health.<\/p>\n

Wellbeing practitioners and Community Development Workers also work with young people in schools through one-to-one sessions, group activities and workshops to teach them strategies to enable them to look after their mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Andrea Choules, head of School Health Nursing in Bristol, said: \u201cSchool Health Nursing believes strongly in the importance of collaboration and working together with Off The Record to offer our young people opportunity and choice to access inclusive joined up services and not feel they are alone during these challenging times.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Post published: 25th November 2021<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”3573″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”newsside” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”20″][vc_custom_heading text=”News” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]
