Mental Health in Schools

We are very lucky to be working with the Bolton Mental Health in Schools Team. (MHIST)

The Bolton Mental Health Support Team (MHST) supports the mental health of children and young people. We work alongside selected schools and Colleges in Bolton to provide three core functions:

Give timely advice to school and college staff, and liaise with external specialist services to help children and young people get the right support and stay in education.

Deliver evidence-based interventions for mild-to-moderate mental health difficulties.

Support the senior mental health lead (where established) in each school or college to introduce or develop their whole school or college approach.

Our Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) in school is Ellis Wooton.

If you would like more information about MHIST and the support they give in school, please speak to John Shawcross (Headteacher/SENDCo) or Hazel Clemmett (Deputy Headteacher/Mental Health Lead)
