Mental Health and Schools Team
As a school, we are proud to say, we are closely working in partnership with the Warwickshire Mental Health in Schools Team (MHST). Their aim is to support children, young people and their families to achieve positive mental wellbeing. They offer short term support to children and young people who are experiencing symptoms of mild to moderate mental health difficulties. The team support parents/carers, children and schools using an ‘early intervention’ approach – parent/carer work, whole school approach, individual low intensity cognitive behavioural therapy and individual high intensity cognitive behavioural therapy. Plus, we can make referrals to MHST if we have concerns or if we notice signs of difficulties.
Each week, on Class Dojo, the weekly MHST's Tip for Wellbeing is posted. On the flyer, there are some ideas and resources that you may find useful to help promote and support positive wellbeing. The ideas can be adapted to suit the age range of your children.
Also, throughout the year, the MHST will be working with Clifton Primary School. Please keep look out on Class Dojo and the weekly school newsletter for updates.
