MHST - Mental Health Support Team

Schools provide an important role in supporting the wellbeing of children and young people at a time when there are lots of physical, emotional and social changes. The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) work within schools to provide an additional source of support to young people, their families and the schools they go to.
