Description
Mind in West Essex is a mental health charity. We are an independent organisation affiliated to Mind (the national association for mental health), an organisation with which we share common values and principles. We support people affected by mental ill health to make positive changes in their lives and to improve their emotional resilience and wellbeing.
Following on from the government’s green paper Dec 2017 ‘Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision.’ Mind in West Essex is part of the national Mental Health Support Team programme.
The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) works with children and young people who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues and works in and with schools and colleges to develop the support they offer to the whole school community and strengthen the links between education, health services and families in Harlow and Epping Forest.
