Drive Forward Foundation a charity that focuses on helping care-experienced young people get into fulfilling and sustainable employment. A key barrier to employment can be the lack of mental health support for care-experienced young people as this is one of many services that drop off once care-experienced young people become 18.
In this episode we're talking to Vasiliki Papoutsi, who is a Clinical Specialist for Looked After Children & Leaving Care and an Art Psychotherapist on the Westminster CAMHS LAC Intervention Team, to learn how they're doing mental health differently to help address the gaps in mental health support.
In her unique role of working with the NHS and Westminster local authority, Vasiliki shares some helpful tips and resources to facilitate a more holistic approach to mental health.
