The-M-Word - A Community Interest Company that Specialise in Mental Health and Autism.
The M Word (Emotional Problem Solving) cic was set up to specialise in Mental Health and Autism recognising that there was very little specialist support for others to access. I am only too well aware of the difficulties CAMHS and Education experience with lack of understanding around Mental Ill Health and Autism, the very limited resources, and the significant impact that has on young people and their families.
We offer mental health assessments (especially around high risk and self-harming behaviours) supporting clients with chronic mental health issues in Anxiety and Depression, as well as offering initial screening of Autism (using the ADOS tool), and either direct or indirect support to young people or their parents with Autistic traits and diagnosis. We also support directives around mental health needs within Educational Health Care Plans and Annual Reviews to support the families, the schools and Local Authorities.
I have been invited to come and speak with you as parents about Mental Health and Autism. I, naturally, welcome this opportunity. Join me to learn more about what you can consider.
