 A little bird has been spreading the word all about the Nest framework. A planning tool designed to help services make sure that mental health and well-being is at the heart of everything they do. It's for everyone, babies, children, young people, parents, carers and their wider family and professionals, to make sure they feel supported and get extra help if needed. Time was taken to talk to lots of people and listen to their ideas. It was agreed that Nests were a good way of explaining what helps children of all ages to grow strong, aim high and be the best they can be. This happens when their everyday relationships feel nurturing, empowering, safe and trusted. Everyone's Nest is unique. Made up of the people who are closest to them, the things they enjoy and help them grow, their communities and the places they go to in their day-to-day lives. And adults play a vital part in a young person's Nest. They can lift them when they are sad, encourage them to try new things, help them join in with others and make them feel valued and cared for. This is the everyday magic that builds and maintains positive mental health and well-being. The Nest framework aims to organize services so that more people get to experience this everyday magic in their daily lives. It also aims to help children and young people feel a sense of belonging, which is so important to mental health and well-being, whether that is at home, in school, at a club, with friends or in their community. And when things aren't going well, like when a child or a young person is feeling sad, anxious, left out or so angry that they push people away. The trusted adults who know them best will have access to support, giving them lots of ideas to try and the confidence to keep helping. That's because sometimes what a young person needs most is for trusted adults not to give up. Nest recognizes how important trusted adults are. When they are well supported, it can make all the difference. Sometimes of course extra help is needed, and the Nest framework's no-wrong-door approach recognizes that everyone is different and there should be lots of different types of help available. In that way, all services come together to work out who can best meet the unique needs of each person. This makes sure children and families aren't bounced around services, and gives access to the right help at the right time, in the right way for them. We all need different kinds of help at different times along the way. The Nest framework aims to support children of all ages, parents, carers, their wider families and the professionals who help them. It's about making sure everyone has opportunities that are nurturing, empowering, safe and trusted.
