Mental Health in Schools Teams: due to roll out into 8 schools in North Warwickshire

Rise Early Help are so excited to share we will be rolling out Mental Health in Schools Teams (MHSTs) in North Warwickshire from September 2021. We will be in 8 schools delivering low intensity, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), evidence-based interventions delivered 1:1 or in groups-often described as ‘guided self-help’. Alongside this, we will deliver educational workshops and assemblies or class-based activities using a ‘Whole School Approach’ to enhance what schools already deliver to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. Staff training will also be delivered with parent and carer workshops also available. Educational Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) will work in their allocated schools to support children and young people experiencing mild mental health difficulties.

Our approach aims to meet as much of the school community as possible-flooding the environment with opportunities to reduce stigma around mental health and support the wellbeing of the children and young people we serve.

Mental Health in School’s Teams will work in partnership with schools to enable the best outcomes and support for children and young people.
