Who we are

Our Mental Health Support Team service will provide direct mental health support to 38 primary and secondary schools in St Helens.

The service aims to promote the early detection and prevention of mental health problems across the whole school and strengthen links between schools and mental health services.

The team will provide direct, ongoing support to schools around mental health and wellbeing. This will include:

  • Providing direct interventions to pupils with mild to moderate mental health conditions, such as anxiety, low mood or behavioural difficulties.
  • Where young people require specialist support, making onward referrals for pupils to local services, such as child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS).
  • Providing training, education and advice to school staff to help them better support their pupils around mental and emotional wellbeing.
  • Championing mental wellbeing and resilience across the whole school community, providing guidance around issues such as bullying and coping with exam stress.

The service will sit alongside and complement any existing mental health support that schools have access to.

Who is our service for?

The service will eventually provide mental health support to 39 schools in St Helens. We are currently only accepting referrals from Wave 4 Schools and our identified placement schools in Wave 6 but will be rolling the service out to all 39 schools later in the year.
