Compass Bloom
Compass Bloom through government funding for Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) provide the much-needed mental health support for Worden pupils and their families.
Compass Bloom’s mental health support team help school staff identify and address the mental health needs of pupils and develop a whole school approach.
The Compass Bloom team will provide a range of services, including evidence-based interventions through one to one meetings and group work.
They will also conduct workshops on mental health issues at these schools and guide school staff to meet the unique needs of each school community. In this way, pupils will have easier access to professionals who can provide timely assistance to ensure that their needs are met promptly.

We continue to try to refine our systems and offer pupils, their parents and staff, support in lots of different ways during difficult times.

MHFAs are trained to offer a deeper understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect people’s wellbeing, including depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, psychosis, and substance misuse. As well as spotting triggers and signs of mental health issues, they offer non-judgmental listening, support and early intervention but are also trained to respond to individuals in crisis who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviour, panic attacks or reactions to traumatic events.
They offer a strictly confidential listening service and can provide signposting to further help if needed. They do not judge or diagnose, and they hope to reduce the stigma around mental ill health in school communities.
