<p>Our Green Paper on children and young people’s mental health aims to improve the
provision of services through its key proposals, one of which is to create new Mental
Health Support Teams in and near groups of schools and colleges in their areas.</p><p>
</p><p>In December 2018, we announced 25 Trailblazer sites to run the first wave of
59 Mental Health Support Teams. The first of these teams are now becoming fully operational.</p><p>
</p><p>On 12 July 2019, we announced that further Mental Health Support Teams are
to be set up across 57 sites. Easington, through Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield
Clinical Commissioning Group, is one such site.</p><p> </p><p>The teams form part
of the National Health Service’s commitment in the NHS Long Term Plan, which commits
at least a further £2.3 billion a year to mental health services by 2023/24.</p>
