RISE

RISE is part of the Newcastle Gateshead CCG, NHS and DFE Mental Health in Schools programme. We work in schools and colleges and support young people with moderate mental health needs. This could mean working directly with individual students, running group sessions, or helping teachers shape lesson plans or assemblies.

At RISE, we offer low intensity support for children and young people coping with mild to moderate mental health needs. Our Education Mental Health Practitioners will tailor sessions based on young person needs but themes may include:

• Anxiety
• Low mood
• Sleep
• Friendships
• Exam stress
• Relationships
• Family breakdown
• Loss of control
• Self-harm
• Disordered eating.

If issues are more complex such as suicide ideation, gender fluidity, psychosis, eating disorders and serious self-harm, our partners can offer more specialist support.

We have a range of resources for children, young people, professionals and parents that offer practical tips to feel more in control and become more resilient in managing emotional well-being and mental health.
