TALK is…
Collaborative
We offer training and resources for everyone who works with children and young people across Norfolk and Waveney. We are centred on the improvement of services for young people, by working together with those who support them to access it.
Responsive
We listen to children, young people, parents, carers and the workforce at all levels. We do this to make sure that we offer training and learning that is needed. We aim to help improve mental health services by filling gaps in training and learning needs. We adapt to fit the need of the workforce at any specific time.
Equitable
We value all experiences and believe that knowledge is gained equally through professional qualifications and lived experience. We try to offer opportunities that allows for the experience of young people to be shared with trusted adults and services. We work hard to develop the TALK Centre, so that resources will become open to all who may benefit.
Transparent
We are open and honest about our goals. We share our goals and plans. We regularly ask for feedback from all areas of the children and young people’s mental health and wellness services and from other organisations. We do this to help us constantly improve.
Our supporters
We would like to say a massive thank you to our supporters for helping us in our work. Thank you for all that you do to improve the lives of young people.
