Healthy Schools Adviser - Emotional Wellbeing & Mental
Health
In a country-wide first, CAMHS and Hertfordshire
Healthy Schools have developed an innovative new post to promote mental
health and emotional wellbeing in schools. Deborah Sheppard took up the
post in January to close the gap between the health and education sectors.
In September 2005, emotional health and wellbeing (including bullying)
became a core requirement of the Healthy Schools Programme. Through signposting
schools and a range of services to each other and exploring preventative
approaches through curricular opportunities, Deborah will also seek to
address the vision of the CAMHS strategy.
Deborah will be responsible for co-ordinating the next Feelin’ Good
Week after its successful launch last year. Sharing examples of good practice
and partnership working will be other key features of her work, and Deborah
would like to invite anyone with an interest in mental health and emotional
wellbeing in the school setting to share their thought and ideas with her.
