  Local health organisations and councils make up Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP). They are working with other local organisations and groups who work with children and young people – their shared goal is to improve mental health outcomes for all.

  The focus of work over the next few years will include:

  • Children and young people of all ages
  • Vulnerable children and young people from disadvantaged and hard-to-reach groups
  • Looked after children
  • Young people in the justice system
  • Children and young people with learning disabilities
  • Children and young people experiencing a mental health crisis – including those who self-harm
  • Parents and carers
  • Schools and colleges
  • Providers of services and anyone who works with children and young people.
