TRAILBLAZER PROJECT

We are very proud to be part of the Trailblazer project for Richmond as part of the Green paper on Mental Health with the aim of 'Transforming mental health provision for children and young people in schools'. We will be helping to shape what this support will look like in schools. We will have access to a Mental Health Support Team ( MHST) who will provide additional expertise, capacity and support to help us treat mild to moderate mental health issues and support mental health & wellbeing. All good news for schools!

Please contact our Mental Health Lead Mrs C Wrigglesworth for further information.

1 in 8 children and young people have a diagnosable #mentalhealth condition.

Every  February, we support Place2Be’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek - raising awareness of the importance of children and young people’s mental health. Learn more: childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk
