two.1.4) Short description
Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) are designed to support mental health and wellbeing of children and young people (CYP) in and around schools and colleges. The teams were described in Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision: a Green Paper and they are a key element of the ambitions set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. This guidance document sets out the process for selecting where within an ICS footprint MHSTs will be placed in 2024/25 and provides you with all you need to know as you work with your partners to establish and deliver your new MHSTs.
MHSTs will support children and young people (regardless of home address or GP) who attend any of the schools identified and approved as an MHST-supported school. If a young person is identified outside of the school groups and has a Birmingham address and / or GP, the Service will liaise with FTB regarding a plan for the most appropriate service to meet the YPs needs. This will be reviewed and evidenced in BSOL MHST Steering Group, where any transitional difficulties will be raised and resolutions sought
A provider is being sourced for Forward Thinking Birmingham’s Mental Health Service Team (MHST) for the provision of a Mental Health Support Team (MHST) service for a period of three years.
