Leeds City Council, NHS Leeds and the Schools Forum have dedicated a sum of £610,000 to deliver the Targeted Mental Health in Schools programme (TaMHS) across 10 clusters of schools in the city.
The Targeted Mental Health in Schools programme is a £60 million scheme funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), between 2008 and 2011.
TAMHS aims to transform the way that emotional and mental support is delivered to children aged five to 13 years old. It is intended to improve children’s emotional well-being and mental health by intervening earlier, tackling problems faster and working preventatively through access to specialist counselling and other mental health services.
