Enhanced Critical & Serious Incident Support / Rapid Assessment of Self-harm Risk
Personalised support plans following serious events in school and a rapid focused assessment for children at risk of self-harm.
We offer highly responsive and personalised support following serious and traumatic events in schools and surrounding communities (for example, deaths impacting on the whole school community or as the result of crime).
Our team of psychologists, counsellors and therapists work in collaboration with you to provide a bespoke plan, individualised to your school system and responsive to the needs of your community, frequently involving your link EP, who will already know your staff and be familiar with your local culture and demographic.
We have experienced a significant growth in demand from schools for support for pupils and staff where more localised, but nonetheless traumatic, incidents have occurred in school (for example, assaults on staff by pupils or parents).
Additionally, there has been an increase in demand for support surrounding self-harm prevention and suicide risk for young people. MAST will continue to provide a rapid (on-the-day, wherever possible) focused assessment for such situations for all subscribing partner schools.
