Emotional Well-being and Mental Health Framework 

The Emotional Well-being and Mental Health Framework is for all children and young people in Darlington. We want every child and young person in Darlington to have a good childhood. Being emotionally healthy is vital to this.

This Framework is intended as a working document. It sets out seven key areas of work we need to deliver to ensure that all our children and young people are emotionally well and mentally healthy. These key areas of work are:

  • Ensuring mothers are well
  • Support for positive parenting
  • Ensuring schools promote emotional well-being
  • Ensuring all staff are well trained
  • Providing targeted and specialist support
  • Providing space and opportunities for play, sport, recreation and leisure
  • Ensuring there are community programmes which everyone can access.
