What we do<\/h2>\n

We are a team that works in a select number of education settings across Wiltshire, supporting young people aged 5 to 18 and their parents or carers with their mental health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

We work with children and young people experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, low mood, or difficulties regulating their emotions. We provide individual and group support for children, young people, and their parents or carers.<\/p>\n

Why we were set up<\/h2>\n

Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) were established in response to the Government’s 2017 green paper, Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision<\/em>, to improve access to high-quality mental health support for children and young people in education settings.<\/p>\n

Since launching in 2020, Wiltshire MHSTs have expanded to support 108 education settings, reaching approximately 49,000 pupils. Schools not currently covered by Wiltshire MHSTs will join the programme in line with the Government’s national rollout.<\/p>\n

If your child attends a school that is not yet supported by Wiltshire MHSTs, you can access CAMHS support through our Single Point of Access.<\/p>\n

Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) work within MHSTs alongside other mental health professionals and clinical supervisors. MHSTs provide early intervention and support to help prevent common mental health difficulties from escalating.<\/p>\n

Wiltshire MHSTs accept referrals for children and young people aged 5 to 18 who attend one of our partner schools. Referrals can currently only be made by the school’s Designated Mental Health Lead.<\/p>\n
