- Explain the benefits of using i-THRIVE Grids as a tool to promote shared decision making;
- Identify where and when you will start to use the i-THRIVE Grids in your work with young people and their families, and;

CoP event: Using Ambit for supporting ICS partnerships.
Date: Thursday 10th March 2022
Time: 10-12
Register here.
AMBIT is a mentalization based team approach for teams working with young people with severe and multiple needs, who do not tend to access mainstream services. We believe that this approach is well suited to enabling localities to support ICS partnerships.
This event hopes to bring together multiagency partners with the aim to get system ready for supporting implementation of the THRIVE framework across the ICSs. It will consider a range of AMBIT principles and tools to ensure initiatives supporting risk are robust and aligned with the THRIVE Framework for system change (Wolpert et al., 2019), with integrated needs led support.
With warm wishes,
The National i-THRIVE Programme Team
