Wellbeing & Mental Health
Mental Health and Wellbeing in school is overseen by our Mental Health Lead, Lauren-Wilson Kilsby
Gosberton House Academy works in close partnership with teachers, parents/carers and the Mental Health Support Team.
The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) are a newly commissioned service designed to help meet the mental health needs of children and young people in selected educational settings across Lincolnshire.
What is a 'referral?'
A referral means "to send someone to a medical specialist for advice or treatment." In healthcare this is usually done by a GP. In Lincolnshire, you can 'self-refer' to children and young people’s (CYP) services. These services include CAMHS, Healthy Minds Lincolnshire and Mental Health Support Teams. This means that if you are struggling with your emotional or mental health, you can self-refer directly to these services, without going to your school or GP.

Recognising the signs that a child may be struggling with their mental health can be really hard. The NSPCC has advice to help you support children who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal feelings or self-harm.
