Mental Health Support Teams in schools

MariaPCC 30 July 2025

Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) in schools and colleges represent a major investment in prevention and early intervention in children and young people’s mental health. The first MHSTs became operational in 2020 and, as of spring 2025, approximately 600 MHSTs were in place, covering 41% of schools and colleges and 52% of pupils across England. A report from the team evaluating the MHST programme contains findings from surveys of education staff who work in a school/college with an MHST, and of staff delivering the MHST service.
