0-25 Family Health Service team

The 0-25 Family Health Service includes family health visitors, family health specialist public health nurses, family health practitioners, emotional resilience nurses and support staff, who deliver the Healthy Child Programme. This programme provides universal and targeted prevention and early intervention support during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.

 

The service provides support for young people with a special educational need and/or disability (SEND) and those who are care leavers up to the age of 25. This offer includes support for low-level emotional health issues, and support to access adult services. There is a dedicated countywide SEND team within the 0-25 service.

 

Health Visitors lead and deliver the Healthy Child Programme for 0–6-year-olds, offering support to all families in pregnancy up to the end of reception/start of year 1. Family Health Nurses lead and deliver the Healthy Child Programme for 6–25-year-olds, working predominately with children, young people and their families.

The Healthy Child Programme is a programme for children, young people and their families which focuses on early intervention and prevention of health problems using research-based guidance on development reviews, screening programmes and advice and support for healthy lifestyle choices.

In County Durham this service is delivered by Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust and commissioned by Durham County Council.
