Meet our EMHP – Ms Evans
An MHST is a trained team made up of a Clinical Lead, Team Managers, Supervisors and Educational Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) who work with schools to support young people who are struggling with their thoughts and feelings.
UVA have a EMHP called Karen starting on 7th March for one day per week.
Karen will be working with small groups and 1:1 with children. There is a referral process for this and parents will be consulted.
Work with children on a 1:1 basis to show them ways to take care of their mental health.
In primary schools, work 1-1 with parents giving them new ideas for supporting their child’s mental health.
Work to deliver a “whole-school approach”, which means supporting the entire school with their wellbeing by delivering group workshops, assemblies, creating resources, pop up hubs at lunchtimes.
