Travancore School Outreach Team
Supporting positive change for students
Outreach teachers work with students (aged 5-15 years) who are referred by their Royal Children’s Hospital Mental Health Case Manager, supporting them to have a positive experience of school.
Every student is unique, so understanding a student’s strengths, needs and preferences is the first step in supporting positive change at school. Our teachers work in partnership with families, school/education staff, case managers and other professionals to support students to work towards their education goals.
The Outreach Team also works with staff in a range of schools to improve the understanding of mental health.
