The Healthy Minds Team School Consultation Line
Following the 2026 Easter break, The Healthy Minds Team are going to be holding a brand new weekly consultation line for schools. This consultation line will be open every Wednesday afternoon from 12:30 - 16:30pm and will be for school staff who have concerns regarding a student's mental wellbeing. This will not replace your usual consultations you have with your named EMHP.
Call us on 0191 524 3537 on Wednesday afternoons.
Stronger Schools
Stronger Schools provides teachers and school staff with pathways to recognise and respond to the wellbeing needs of children in their school. Local educators, health and wellbeing professionals, and support agencies have shared their expertise and local knowledge to adapt the pathways for South Tyneside and Sunderland schools. While the site is not available to share with families, it does contain resources to print and give to families.
ALL STAFF within South Tyneside schools have access to this website and each school should have received their own personal log in. If you have misplaced this or not received it, please email necsu.
