"summary": "The role of an Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) is an innovative and important role in the government’s Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) – part of the National Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies initiative.\n\nIn your year of study with us, we’ll help you learn the role and teach you how to make a difference working with children and young people.\n\nAs an EMHP you’ll work alongside schools and colleagues to support children and young people with mental health problems and wellbeing. This is a dynamic and innovative career choice, responding to the needs of children and young people within your area.\n\nThe course has two key components. First you’ll learn how to deliver low intensity, evidence-based interventions. Next you’ll focus on supporting schools to develop whole school approaches to positive mental health. This includes carrying out audits, taking part in consultations and providing group sessions for school staff, parents and young people.\n\nEvery child or young person you work with will be different. To prepare you for the different scenarios you’ll face, we’ll help you become confident in identifying areas of adversity, disadvantage and risk. And because you’re employed by local mental health services, you’ll get plenty of practical hands-on experience alongside classroom-based study. This will teach you the skills and knowledge you need to hit the ground running in your career.",
