A whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing involves working together to prioritise mental health and wellbeing in the school community. Please follow this link to Anna Freud's Mentally Healthy School Webpage for more information about the principles of the whole-school approach. 

At school we have access to the NHS Mental Health Support Team, part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHs) 

A Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is a team that works with schools to support children and families with managing mental health.

The three core functions of an MHST are:

1. Deliver evidence-based interventions for mild-to-moderate mental health issues
2. Support schools to introduce or develop Whole School Approach (WSA)
3. Provide timely advice and signposting

For children that are under 12 the team offer the following parent-led support:

• Helping Your Child with Fears and Worries (for anxiety/worries)
• Brief Behaviour Management (for behaviour and/or emotional regulation management)
