As an EMHP, you will be delivering CBT Evidence-Based Interventions for children and young people with mild to moderate mental health and behavioral problems in a range of Education Settings. You will help children and young people within these settings who present with more severe problems to rapidly access more specialist services. Another key part of your role is to support the staff in your allocated Education Settings to identify, and where appropriate, manage issues related to mental health and wellbeing; supporting them to develop whole school approaches to positive mental health.
Working with and within educational environments to afford better access to specialist mental health services, you'll be able to identify and work with low-level risk and recognize higher-level risk, escalating this appropriately to relevant services. You will deliver outcome-focused, Evidence-Based Interventions in Educational Settings for children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Develop skills in supporting children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties, their parents/carers, families, and educators in the self-management of presenting difficulties.
2. Develop and practice Evidence-Based skills and work in partnership with children, young people, their families, and educators in the development of treatment plans for specific interventions and agreeing outcomes.
3. Work in collaboration with children and young people and, where appropriate, parents/carers to formulate and develop agreed treatment plans.
4. Provide individual and group interventions to children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties.
5. Be an active participant in case discussions, multi-agency meetings, and regular supervision to ensure high standards of care.
