Targeted Mental Health in Schools
TaMHS is a 3-year national programme funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families which aims to transform the way that mental health support is delivered to children aged 5 -13, to improve their mental well being and tackle problems more quickly. London will have a total of 25 pathfinders that are being funded to develop an innovative model of mental health support. This model has 2 key elements
1. Integrated services - agencies working together to deliver flexible, responsive and effective early intervention services for children and their families.
2. Evidence-informed practice – interventions planned according to local need and grounded in our increasing knowledge of what works.
In response to a request from the London Regional TaMHS Network, we have developed this site to enable pathfinders to share their tools and documents in a "Do Once And Share" approach.
Schools Work
Young London Matters: Emotional Health and Wellbeing Schools Project
This Report brings together findings from a short development project commissioned by Young London Matters (YLM), a pan-London programme led by Government Office for London.
YLM consists of four strands of work which reflect some of the priorities confronting statutory and voluntary sector providers who are working to improve outcomes for children and families across London. The theme of Strand 1 is: ‘Improving access for children and young people to services that improve their emotional well being and mental health’.
