Schools play a vital role in the lives of children and young people — especially during times of big change, whether that's emotional, social, or physical. Our Mental Health Support Team (MHST) works alongside schools in Croydon to offer an extra layer of support for young people, their families, and the staff around them.

We're embedded in schools across the borough, providing:  

• A confidential, non-judgemental space where young people can talk through whatever's on their mind  

• One-to-one sessions and workshops for parents and carers, to help you support the young person in your life  

• Guidance and support for school staff, keeping emotional health and wellbeing central to school life

We are currently based in the following Croydon schools:

• Ark Blake Secondary School

• Ark Oval Primary

• Beckmead Family of Schools

• Broadmead Primary School

• Chestnut Park Primary School

• Christchurch CoE Primary

• Coombe Wood Secondary

• Ecclesbourne Primary

• Forestdale Primary

• Oasis Academy Shirley Park

• St John's CofE Primary

• St Joseph's College

To request support, speak to the Mental Health Lead at your school, or email us at MHST@talkofftherecord.org. 

Please note: to access this service, either you or the young person you're referring must be attending one of the schools our teams are based in.
