The Brent Centre has been providing support to students and teachers since 1999. We provide mental health services to young people through a range of local schools. Our aim continues to be to provide a timely, flexible service to our schools, especially in times of crisis.
We provide mental health services to young people through a range of local schools. At each of these locations our therapists are available to offer help and support to young people. The type of help we offer varies in each location, and can include the following:
Individual therapy: One-to-one therapy for as long as needed.
Group work: Sessions for pupils to cooperatively work through shared difficulties, such as exam anxiety.
Staff support: Supervision to pastoral staff as a space to bring up young people of particular concern. We also offer Ad Hoc meetings in times of crisis.
“It seems an appropriate time to say how grateful I am for the support of [the Centre’s clinicians] throughout this year. The difference they have made to so many of the most vulnerable students in our school is incredible and on an individual level I am conscious that there have been lives that have been transformed because of the work that has gone on. I would also like to acknowledge their support with social care and CAMHS referrals, [their] signposting of other agencies for additional support and …supervision work with both the chaplain and myself. If the BYCP was not working with our school, our mental health support would be so immeasurably poorer. I hope that it continues for many years.”
