CASH enjoys a number of partnerships with our colleagues in health and other agencies.

  • Six of our schools host Integrated Health Centres where services in education and health work closely together in school based hubs.
  • Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) are employed by health and are based in primary schools in parts of the county. Supporitng transition into secondary school and the early months in secondary are part of their work. Teams are established in Kerrier and restormel, North Cornwall has two teams currently training (Camel Valley and Upper Tamar Valley teams) 

Inter Professional Collaboration is central to this work - all professionals recognise and celebrate each other's skills and attributes and look to work closely in order to prvode the best possible service and outcomes for children and young people.

A Big Lottery funded programme in six Local Authorities across England running from 2016-2021. The HeadStart Kernow partnership will build the resilience and mental well-being of young people who have asked us to ensure: • ‘We can understand our own thoughts and emotions and can talk openly when we need help’ • ‘People around us know the signs and know what to do when we are struggling.’ • ‘Help is reliable and consistent; we will know who we can trust to help us to help ourselves.’ • ‘We are helped to cope with the pressures of life, including online.’ • We learn and share what we have learnt.
