Market Engagement - Provision of a Safe Space/Crisis Café In Brent By North West London CAMHS Provider Collaborative (Hosted By West London NHS Trust, Contracting Authority)

The North West London CAMHS Provider Collaborative would like to invite interested parties to a market engagement event to find out about an exciting opportunity to provide a Children and Young People's Safe Space to support Children and Young People with mental health issues as an alternative to attending Accident and Emergency departments.

It is proposed that the service will be open 365 days a year from 3pm into the evening and will provide an inviting safe space for CYP and their families and carers.
