In this podcast we speak with, Lynsey Eland, a Service Manager, and Trainer at Mind in the Carlisle and Eden area. Lynsey is a strong believer and feels very passionately about supporting individuals to feel equipped to manage, understand and take ownership of their mental health and emotional wellbeing needs, ensuring they can expand and reach their full potential.
Lynsey talks about the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of children and young people in Cumbria and the impact on Carlise and Eden, Mind in the past 12 months. She believes that mental health support for children and young people is necessary all of the time not just during COVID19
Both Lynsey and Dr. Lloyd Humphreys speak about the differences between remote services, online services, and digital and what the benefits are from each of them, recognizing that mental health services for children and young people are not one-size-fits-all.
Furthermore, the podcast looks at the role that parents have in children's and young people’s lives. There is huge therapeutic value delivered through parents. Lynsey also noted the importance of environment and looking at the family unit as a whole and how powerful that can be.
