Kelso High School Case Study

Filling a counselling gap

The key points to this case study are:

• emotional health and well-being
• counselling
• multi-agency working.

The Kelso Locality Integration Team identified a need for emotional support for an identified group of young people at Kelso High School in Scottish Borders. A gap was also identified in the available resources in terms of capacity and skill level of staff as appropriate to a Tier 2 service in the Scottish Borders Mental Health Strategy.
