Therapeutic Thinking Support Team (TTST)

Last updated: 13/02/2024

The TTST is a team made up of Educational Psychologists, Advisers and Practitioners supporting maintained primary and secondary schools to consider the needs and provision for children and young people who experience Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties.

Adopting a therapeutic approach means that school policy and the day to day practice in schools are designed to provide experiences that create sustained prosocial (positive, helpful) feelings within all children and adults.
