Introduction to the Getting Help and MHST Teams

This article has been brought to you by East Berkshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services' Project Manager for MHST/Getting Help Service, Alison Bradshaw. This is for the attention of Professionals working with children.

In September 2020 CAMHS are launching two new services in conjunction with the East Berkshire local authorities: 

  • Bracknell Forest Borough Council
  • Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Council (Achieving for Children)
  • Slough Borough Council

With Slough Borough Council the new Mental Health Support Team (MHST) has been launched. We will support children and young people who attend 14 schools in Slough who have emerging, mild or moderate mental health difficulties which may be affecting their day to day life.

With the three local authorities in East Berkshire (Bracknell Forest, Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and Slough Borough Council) CAMHS are also launching the new Getting Help Teams. The new teams will work with children and young people in these areas who need short term support (around six to eight sessions) with low to moderate mental health issues.

CAMHS also have a YouTube channel where all videos are uploaded, please see the videos below and don't forget to subscribe.
