The Mental Health Champions Pilot which was launched in 2017 is expanding! Find out about the latest developments and how you can get involved.
Over 60 schools are currently signed up to the Mental Health Champions initiative which provides school staff with regular support from a team of Educational Psychologist and Primary Mental Health Workers from CAMHS to raise the profile of positive mental health within schools by providing training, supervision and resources to schools. Schools involved consistently rate their involvement in the project as good or excellent. The project was recently highlighted in the local press for the positive contribution it is making locally http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/local/localbrad/16150912.amp/ New opportunities to get involved: Website launch The project is now able to announce the launch of its website which provides access to resources and information for schools, students and parents and carers.
