Who are we?
The Mental Health Support Teams (MHST) are a service designed to help meet the mental health and emotional wellbeing needs of children and young people (age 5 to 18) in selected education settings across Lincolnshire or who are not on roll with an education setting.
Teams are made up of professionals called:
- Clinical Lead Practitioners
- Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs).
These are workers who have had specialised training to support young people presenting with a wide range of mental health issues.
We work closely with education staff to understand and respond to the mental health needs of the young people in their setting. This can be in the form of workshops, groups and individual work.
How do we find out more?
These teams are really new and are not yet set up in every region or school and college. With that in mind, please speak to your child or young person's school or college to find out whether they have access to a Mental Health Support Team.
If you have a young person who is struggling with their mental health and want to talk to a mental health professional to find out what supports are available in your area, please call the Here4You Line:
Telephone 0800 234 6342 or find out more about self referral on our webpage.
