A YOUNG people's mental health service been named 'Innovator of the Year' in recognition of its pioneering website. 

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) received the accolade for MyMind.org.uk during the National Children and Young People's Mental Health Awards ceremony.

The website has been co-produced with young people accessing CAMHS and aims to support anyone interested in the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people across Cheshire and Wirral.

This is the latest in a long line of recognition for the site, which has a growing reputation nationally as a pioneering digital resource that supports the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people.

In recent years, the website has been named winner at the iNetwork Innovation Awards and has also been highly commended in both the 'Innovation in CAMHS category at the Positive Practice in Mental Health' Awards and the 'Innovation in Mental Health' category at the Health Service Journal (HSJ) Awards.

Dr Fiona Pender, consultant clinical psychologist and clinical director for CWP, said: "We were really proud to be winners at the inaugural National Children and Young People's Mental Health Awards and to be recognised for all the work that young people, their families and staff put into delivering and maintaining the MyMind website."

At the ceremony in Manchester’s Town Hall, CWP’s CAMHS service was highly commended in no less than four categories on the night.
