Mental health support and advice

Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) work in schools and colleges to support children, young people and those who care for them with their emotional wellbeing and mental health.

MHSTs are working across schools in Hull and East Riding to provide early intervention for mild to moderate mental health needs. The teams can support with mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression. They’re integrated within schools and colleges, working directly alongside students and teaching staff.

In School-

Thorpepark Academy have a Mental Health Support Team (MHST). They have been working in our school to support children, young people, parents/carers, and education staff for many years. Their team is made up of qualified practitioners, including Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) and Senior Practitioners.

The EMHPs work directly within the school offering a range of interventions and will work with you to determine the best course of action for your child if they need some support. This might include:

  • 1:1 support and interventions
  • Group work and sessions
  • Whole School Approach
  • Assemblies
  • Workshops for parents
  • Parent-led CBT
  • Training for teachers

The practitioners can also support children and young people to access other services in the city if they feel it would be more appropriate for their needs.

To access support for your child, speak to your school’s welfare team or another appropriate member of staff.

Opportunities to attend parent workshops

New dates will follow for the new school year!

Below are some examples of the courses the Mental Health Support Team run in school and at local family hubs around Hull.
