iThrive 2 – 19 years Referral Form

The iThrive Hub is commissioned by Bolton Together to deliver emotional health and wellbeing support for children and young people, aged 2-19 years (up to 25 with SEND).

Our support is an early intervention service, meaning we address issues early. We are not a crisis service.

The support we offer is short term, and goals based. We use a strength-based approach, using interventions that are best suited to a child’s wants, interests and needs. We use flexible and youth centred approaches.

The strategies and tools we provide aim to improve the child’s emotional health and wellbeing long-term.

We require consent and a conversation to have taken place with the child/young person prior to referring. This means that they understand what they are being referred to and have agreed to receiving the support. IThrive is a child/youth centred service and we therefore require involvement of the child/young person throughout the process.

Children and young people referred to the IThrive Hub must be registered with a Bolton GP.

5. Details of the Referrer

Consent is given to share information with Bolton Together and wider agencies offering support for EHWB. Consent must be given before referring.
We put the child/young person (CYP) at the centre of the IThrive approach, empowering them and supporting them to make changes for themselves. To do this effectively, the CYP must understand what support they are accessing and to have agreed to participate in. Before referring, please ensure a conversation has taken place with the CYP about our services, and they have agreed to being referred. Please tick this box to confirm this has taken place. *Not applicable to the Early Years provision.
