A quick rundown
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust delivers community CAMHS services across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. We built their CAMHS site on the same platform as their main public website, keeping things consistent and helping reduce hosting costs.
Our solution
From the start, we worked closely with the client and engaged directly with young people in the region. Their feedback played a big role in shaping the final design. Based on what they told us, we softened the colour palette to make the site feel calmer and more welcoming. We also introduced icon-based navigation, which they felt made it easier to use - especially when feeling anxious or for those who are neurodivergent.
Each page includes simple thumbs up/down feedback buttons - an idea that resonated well with young users, as it felt familiar and easy, like using social media.
