Who we are…

Illustration of teenagersWarrington Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is an NHS service which is working with 40 schools in Warrington to support their pupils’ emotional, behavioural and mental health and wellbeing.

The MHST is here to help you build resilience and teach you skills so you can take care of your own mental wellbeing.

The service is made up of a number of mental health professionals and each school has been assigned a practitioner from the MHST. Your school’s practitioner will be able to help if you need any support with your emotional or mental wellbeing, such as:

  • One-to-one sessions and group support to help you deal with issues like worry, panic or low mood
  • The MHST can help with most things but if you need any more specialised support, they will be able to refer you onto other local services that can help, like child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)

How can I get help support from the MHST?

If you are struggling with your mental or emotional wellbeing, the Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is here to help.

If you are…
