Mental Health Support Team

We’re excited to announce we have a new NHS provision available to our school, allowing access to mental health support. The team members will be visiting our school regularly to deliver workshops, assemblies, and talks, aiming to make mental health support a part of everyday school life.

If your child is experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges, such as low mood or anxiety, the MHST may be able to help. In cases where a child needs support, school staff might speak with you about completing a referral to the team. The support is based on Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles, which can be highly effective for managing mild to moderate issues. Depending on age and specific needs, support may be provided in group settings or one-on-one with children, or parents. Sessions are conducted at school during school hours, making it easier for children to access support without disrupting their routine.

As an NHS service, the MHST is dedicated to using evidence-based approaches tailored specifically to children and young people. Their staff members are fully trained to address the mental health needs of young individuals, providing a safe and supportive space for children to develop tools for managing their mental well-being.
