NAViGO have been appointed as the new provider of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in North East Lincolnshire from April 2023.

The service – known locally as Young Minds Matter – which offers children and young people up to the age of 19 support with their emotional wellbeing and mental health, has been delivered by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT).

Simon Beeton, NAViGO Chief Executive said: “We are excited to embrace this opportunity to become an all-age mental health services provider.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming new staff to our organisation, building on the good work of Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and using our experience and knowledge to deliver an excellent service that supports the mental health of young people across North East Lincolnshire.”

The new contract will begin on 1 April 2023.
