Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) support children, young people and their families that have links to identified school settings.

Each designated MHST will work in collaboration with schools and other agencies who cover a population of up to 7,000 children and young people.

Trailblazer sites were established in Kent in 2019, with the service aim to cover 50% of the schools across Kent and Medway by 2026.

It is expected that this will increase early access to services and offer greater preventative provision.
