Mental Health Support Team

Barking & Dagenham Mental Health Support Team (B&D MHST) is based at both campuses of Barking Abbey School on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Their team of practitioners works closely with pupils, parents/carers, and school staff to help improve the mental wellbeing of the school community. They provide early intervention to support individuals and small groups with managing anxiety and low mood and also offer workshops for larger groups of pupils on a variety of topics, including exam stress and self-esteem. Speak to your Head of Year for more information or to make a request for support. You can also find more information on the team's website and Instagram page.
