i-THRIVE

i-THRIVE is an approach that ensures that young people get the emotional wellbeing and mental health support they need when facing difficult situations. The goal is for every young person in Kent to thrive, but if they do need extra help, they know where to go to find the right support. Young people will be supported to get the help they need.
