Your school should be able to support around mental health, Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) are now working within schools as a new approach to provide an additional source of support to young people and their families.
In Bristol, South Gloucestershire the MHST programme is being delivered in partnership between Off the Record (OTR) and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP), both of whom are already delivering mental health support services locally.
You can find out which schools have MHSTs by following this link Mental Health Support Team – OTR (otrbristol.org.uk)
