About RISE
RISE is part of the Newcastle Gateshead ICB, NHS, and DfE Mental Health in Schools programme. We collaborate with schools and colleges to support young people with mild to moderate mental health needs. This can involve one-on-one work with students, group sessions, whole class workshops, parent/carer sessions, staff training and drop-ins and assemblies
How RISE improves wellbeing
How we improve children's wellbeing
At RISE, we want to support as many pupils as possible. That’s why we take the ‘whole school approach’.
This means, as well as working directly with young people who need structured support, we also work alongside teachers to plan lessons and deliver training in how to manage specific mental health issues.
By enabling professionals and parents to better support young people’s wellbeing, we aim to reach more young people in the long term.
