About the Service
Ormiston Families' Supporting Smiles Children and Young People's Mental Health Service provides professional mental health support to children and young people through our Therapeutic Pathway for 4–13-year-olds and our Children's Wellbeing Practitioner service for 5–18-year-olds. Whether children and young people live in Norfolk or Waveney, or are registered with a Norfolk or Waveney GP, we provide evidence-based therapeutic support tailored to their individual needs. We believe in a needs-led approach, and our service name was co-created with the children, young people and families we support.

Therapeutic support is delivered in a range of community settings, including schools, family hubs and community venues, ensuring services are accessible and responsive to the needs of children, young people and families.
As a member of Norfolk & Waveney's Children and Young People's Mental Health Alliance, we work alongside partners including The Benjamin Foundation, Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Norfolk County Council and Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust to deliver integrated, THRIVE-informed support across the Getting Advice, Getting Help, Getting More Help and Risk Support pathways.
