SUMMARY:SCLWN Programme Leads Event - Whole Family Support Through General Practice Project
DESCRIPTION:Inequalities in child health outcomes are widening in Scotland. A significant number of families experience poverty\, isolation\, poor mental health\, neurodevelopmental conditions and significant stress. Many face barriers in accessing the resources and support they need from a complex\, fragmented system of services with high thresholds and limited capacity. This results in unmet needs\, crisis presentations\, and continued negative impacts on wellbeing that risk being embedded across the life course. \nThe Whole Family Support through General Practice Project  is an initiative where Family Wellbeing Workers (FWWs) provide holistic support to families experiencing\, or at risk of\, poverty\, trauma and neurodevelopmental difficulties. \nThe Whole Family Support through General Practice (WFSGP) intervention is one of several projects supported by the Scottish Government’s Whole Family Wellbeing Fund (£500m between 2022-2026)\, but the only one based in primary care. \nThis session will be led by Suzanne Niven\, Health Improvement Manager\, NHS GGC and David Blane\, Senior Clinical Lecturer in General Practice and Primary Care\, University of Glasgow and Scottish Deep End Project. \nFind out more and book your place. \nPlease contact Roisin Hurst if you have any questions about this event.
