Celebrating eight years of Entwined Minds

This September marked the eighth anniversary of Entwined Minds, the Patient Participation Group of Options4CYP (Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services in Blackpool).

Entwined Minds is a group of young ambassadors who work closely with professionals to co-produce, shape and improve the service. They are a group of young people, who advocate for young people and are a vital link between service users and professionals.

Visitors to the Options4CYP waiting room at Whitegate Drive Health Centre can now enjoy a vibrant new mural that was co-designed by current and former Entwined Minds members, alongside local artist Adam Salisbury. The mural reflects the energy and creativity of the group and was kindly funded by Blue Skies.

CAMHS and YoutherapY Service Manager David Eaton said “Options4CYP are incredibly proud of everything Entwined Minds has achieved over the past 8 years. A heartfelt thank you to all past and present members for their time, ideas, and commitment to improving mental health services for the young people of Blackpool.”
