Steph’s Leap for Young People’s Mental Health On 21st and 22nd June, people from across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will gather at Portsmouth’s iconic Spinnaker Tower for the Brighterway 2025 Abseil Challenge down the 100-metre landmark to raise awareness and vital funds for Brighterway, Southern Health’s o cial charity, which funds projects that go above and beyond what the NHS can provide. Among them is Steph Stinton, a passionate advocate for young people’s mental health and a dedicated member of the New Forest CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) team at the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Poignant personal motivations prompted Steph to change careers, devoting herself to supporting young people with their mental health. For her, this isn’t just another fundraiser - it’s a powerful opportunity to raise awareness, support recovery, and give something back to a service close to her heart. CAMHS supports children and young people who struggle with their emotional wellbeing and mental health. rough a range of pathways and treatment methods, the service helps them build tools, understanding, and con dence to manage what they’re going through. “I see every day how hard young people are working to build themselves back up, and it’s a privilege to be part of that. This challenge is just one way I can give back to the service and the young people who inspire me.” “I decided to be that voice that I never knew I needed when I was a teenager - that’s what I’m trying to become.” Steph is now a Support Time and Recovery (STAR) worker, based within core CAMHS in the New Forest team. She works closely with people aged 5-18 who’ve been referred into the service through di erent avenues such as the early help and single point of access (SPA) teams — supporting them in real-world environments, practically embedding therapeutic skills they’re learning, and building their con dence up beyond clinical sessions. Steph’s work with CAMHS is incredibly meaningful - she changed her career to do more than she was previously able to in an education role, and now feels like she can truly make a di erence. “I want to help improve the experience of mental health care for young people, and the funds raised will go directly towards doing that.” For more information about the abseil fundraiser or to make a donation to the Charity please visit: www. brighterway.org.uk/brighterway-spinnaker-tower-abseil/ Steph Stinton STEP UP THIS SUMMER WITH DIABETES UK’S WALKING CHALLENGE People across Hampshire are being invited to step up this summer and raise vital funds for people a ected by diabetes.
