Our Mental Health Support Team is part of the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and consists of an Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP), a Senior Mental Health Practitioner & SPA Clinician and a team of Support Workers who are able to offer a wide range of support and intervention.
