Selfcare packs for Early Intervention Mental Health Support Team

Our Early Intervention Mental Health Support Team (EIMHST)work in schools and colleges to support children and young people with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

The team holda Summer Activities Group (SAG)each year to support young people in Hull and East Yorkshire aged 13-15 years old.

“The children and young people we support are at risk of disengaging from education due to their emotional health and family circumstances and who are unlikely to have opportunities to go away with family or mix with others over the summer,” said Julie Holmes, Education Mental Health Practitioner.

The teamrequested some funds from Health Stars to make selfcare packs for the young people attending the SAG to support their mental wellbeing.

“The packs will include a cosy blanket, socks, face mask and lip balm. We think the children will really enjoy using the packs throughout the summer and beyond and can’t wait to give them out at this year’s [2024] group.
