The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) provides an accessible service for students from primary age to year 13 who may be experiencing a range of mild to moderate difficulties with their mental health.

The teams are based within education settings and cover Year 1 to Year 11 in Burnley.

If you have noticed your child is feeling frequently sad, worried or anxious and feel they may need support from the mental health team, please speak to a member of staff at school, who can support a referral to the service.

Their aim is to work alongside children, young people, families, schools and other professionals to provide early, accessible support and help young people develop skills to manage their mental health and wellbeing.
