<p>Following on from our Green Paper ‘Transforming children and young people’s mental
health provision: a green paper’, we are incentivising every school or college to
identify and train a Senior Lead for Mental Health and are creating new mental health
support teams in and near schools and colleges. The mental health support teams are
designed to provide low-level and early mental health interventions, to prevent more
severe cases from developing and create a broader wellbeing culture in schools.</p><p>
</p><p>We are aiming to cover 20-25% of the country with mental health support teams
by 2023/24. We expect the first wave of trailblazer mental health support teams to
be fully operational by the end of this year.</p><p> </p><p>The wider roll-out will
be informed by the evaluation of the initial trailblazers. Brighton and Hove is one
of the first wave of trailblazer areas.</p><p> </p><p>Mental health across all ages
will receive a growing share of the National Health Service budget, worth a further
£2.3 billion a year in real terms by 2023/24.</p><p> </p>
