About the THRIVE Framework
The THRIVE Framework was originally developed by a collaboration of authors from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families in 2014. The Framework provide an integrated, person centred and needs-led approach to delivering mental health services for children, young people and families.
The THRIVE Framework conceptualises need in five categories: thriving, getting advice and signposting, getting help, getting more help and getting risk support. Emphasis is placed on the promotion of mental health and wellbeing, and empowering children, young people and their families to be actively involved in decisions about their care through shared decision making.
