Branch is an online mental wellbeing hub for children and young people in Wirral, from 0 all the way to 18 (and up to 25 with additional needs). It doesn’t deliver services directly – it’s more of a guide, helping people to find the best tools and local support.
It can be used for any child or young person, no matter how big or small their worries feel. It’s packed with tips to help them feel better and, when they need a bit of extra support, gives simple routes into local services.
Branch doesn’t offer crisis support but has information on where to get help in an emergency.

Orcha Health Apps
Digital health offers a huge opportunity to transform how we prevent health concerns, treat patients and meet clinical needs.
With more than 350,000 digital health technologies available, and over 5 million people downloading one every day, why have we not yet seen wholesale adoption across health and care, payers and providers?
It’s because of the barriers to adoption, including awareness, trust, access and governance.
The Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps (ORCHA) provides the core infrastructure to overcome these barriers and introduce digital health safely. Our technology establishes the quality assurance procedures long followed by other areas of medical practice.
The Orcha website audits all health apps and recommends the ones that are safe and secure so you have peace of mind when downloading/using these services.
