Bucks Mental Health Support Team
One in ten children aged 5 to 16—or roughly three children in every classroom—have a diagnosable mental health condition.
The Bucks Mental Health Support Team (MHST) helps children and young people experiencing challenges with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
This includes difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, and low confidence or self-esteem.
We provide evidence-based therapeutic support for young people and parents, both individually and in groups.
Training for schools
The MHST also offers training for school staff to help them recognise and support students with mild to moderate mental health and wellbeing concerns.
Our workshops cover topics such as anxiety, low mood, self-harm, and other mental health difficulties, equipping schools with practical strategies to support students effectively.
Educational support
Working in partnership with Buckinghamshire Council, our team consists of Education Mental Health Practitioners, Youth Workers and Family Workers.
Our MHST works with a number of education providers including: primary schools, secondary schools, special schools, post 16 higher education colleges and pupil referral units.
We work in schools in Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham & Chesham, to see whether your/your child’s school is covered by the MHST click on your area below:
