Best Practice Exchange

Supporting Children and Young People with Mental Health issues in Schools

Dear Colleagues,
The Government’s new Mental Health Strategy emphasises the crucial importance of early intervention in emerging emotional and mental health problems for children and young people.

As part of the BOND Consortium (Better Outcomes, New Delivery), we would like to invite you to a FREE Best Practice Exchange on how schools and commissioners can make better use of the voluntary and community sector in the future delivery of mental health services for children and young people. This event will:   

  • Update you on what is happening to emotional and mental health support services for children and young people across the country, including early intervention, new ways of commissioning and providing services.
  • Share examples of best practice in relation to improving children and young people's mental health and well being, including what was learnt from the Targeted Mental Health in Schools Programme (TAMHS) how it can be applied across different settings and contexts.
  • Identify practical, cost effective ways for developing and delivering future support. Demonstrate ways in which the Voluntary and Community Sectors can begin to build capacity and improve health and learning outcomes for children and young people in local settings including schools
  • Facilitate learning and partnership working. Elicit feedback that will build upon the emerging evidence and provide baseline themes.

The event is aimed at those responsible for supporting children and young people in schools, colleges and informal settings, as well as those responsible for commissioning these services.
