Story

Byrchall High school and Wigan Deanery Trust have partnered so that hundreds of students can access mental health support quickly and in a familiar environment, including access to a school counsellor. This follows a 3 year pilot project in another Wigan high school were hundreds of students have been able to access 1-2-1 counselling, drop in sessions and targeted support for eating disorders and peer relationships that has transformed their lives. Over 60% have reported feeling better thanks to the counselling provision. We are expecting similar outcomes and already in the first term, 27 referrals have been made.
