A quick introduction to THRIVE
It is worth being aware of THRIVE in the context of a Whole School Approach to C&YP’s emotional wellbeing and mental health.
Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is an i-THRIVE community of practice site implementing THRIVE and contributing to learning nationally.
What is THRIVE?
THRIVE refers to the framework for delivering improved children’s mental health.
What is i-THRIVE?
i-THRIVE refers to the implementation of THRIVE. It is the mechanism to deliver a population/whole-system approach to promote “thriving”, and seeks to improve services for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The THRIVE Model
The thrive approach places emphasis on prevention and early intervention. It aims to talk about mental health and mental health support using a common language that everyone understands. The framework is needs-led, whereby mental health needs are defined by young people and families in partnership with professionals. Needs are not based on severity, diagnosis or health care pathways.
