The Children’s Hospital School has established hubs for senior mental health leads (SMHLs) in schools. These are supportive networks specifically for those designated as SMHL in their school. The costs of running the hub will be met by the Children’s Hospital School charitable trust.
The hubs will continue to develop over time with the aim to provide the following:
- A supportive network for mental health leads in schools
- Opportunities to share best practice
- Further training and development opportunities
- Forum to discuss live issues and case studies
