In December 2018, NHS Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group (NGCCG) was announced as a pilot area for the implementation of Trailblazer Mental Health Support Teams. Mental Health Support Teams provide extra capacity for low level, wellbeing and emotional support in schools.
We were asked to engage with key stakeholders during the implementation of the Trailblazer pilot to understand how the new Mental Health Support Teams could provide the most appropriate support.
We spoke to school staff, Early Help Teams, Educational Psychologists and Youth Councils.
