Supporting children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing: Mental Health Support Teams. An update on research, policy and practice.

Children and young people’s mental health has long been an important element of the work of educational psychologists (EPs). Given continuing concerns and the societal changes we have experienced since the publication of the government’s green paper (2017), a focus on this topic is timely. The day will provide colleagues with updates regarding the government’s vision and policy for supporting children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, as well as reflecting on developments relating to Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs). We will also hear about cutting edge research. The afternoon will focus on EP practice with examples of the role EPs have played in MHSTs and in developing tools to gather the views of children and young people.
