About us
We currently work in schools and colleges within Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham and Chesham.
Bucks MHST comprises of specialist staff who build upon existing strategies already available in schools such as counselling, nurture groups, and support from school nurses.
Each team within our MHST is made up of:
- 4 Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs)
- 1 Supervisor/Senior EMHP
- 1 Youth Worker
- 1 Family Worker
Who we are
Our MHST plays a key role in promoting emotional wellbeing and mental health awareness in educational settings. We are in the unique position to offer a range of therapeutic support within the school environment which minimizes the amount of time young people are away from learning.
How does MHST differ from the CAMHS?
The MHST draws upon the collective knowledge and resources of care providers that usually operate as stand-alone services.
Staff in the MHST have the unique opportunity to work within the school environment, helping to bridge the gap between education and mental health care.
