Wellbeing and Emotional Support Teams in Schools
-
Wellbeing and emotional support teams in schools are working with a number of schools across Herefordshire and Worcestershire to tackle the challenges children and young people face when experiencing mental health difficulties.
Treatment
Wellbeing and emotional support teams provide support for mental health and emotional wellbeing difficulties like mild-moderate anxiety or worries, exam stress and friendship issues through low intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (LI-CBT), counselling sessions, themed group work or information workshops. This will help children and young people to feel more resilient, providing them with techniques to look after themselves and strategies to help them cope better with life’s ups and downs.
The teams will also support parents and teachers with group work information, advice and guidance about how best to help children and young people who are experiencing difficulties.
