advantage: talking tactics

Advantage Talking Tactics is a weekly one-to-one mentoring programme delivered in Ipswich by Ipswich Town Foundation in partnership with Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board. It is part of Advantage Mentoring, a national organisation that connects the NHS with professional football club community organisations to provide healthcare solutions, partnering two community anchor institutions. The programme has been designed to increase access to NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, help tackle waiting times and reduce health inequalities by providing weekly one-to-one mentoring support for young people aged 11 to 21 with mild to moderate mental health and emotional wellbeing support needs. Sessions use a goals-based approach with the aim of improving young people's life opportunities and overall wellbeing. Enquiries go to the Foundation's Head of Community Engagement.
