The existing service is already an IAPT+ model with a strong focus on promoting wellbeing and has a strong and positive relationship with a range of third sector providers.

 - Uses an education based approach to delivery.
 - Is as accessible as general primary care, offering open access and local services.
 - Works in partnership with a wide range of local services and resources that promote wellbeing.
 - Provides training and development of the wider workforce in understanding mental health and offering early support to promote emotional wellbeing.
