A new service has launched in the Rochdale borough to make sure school children with low-level emotional and behavioural difficulties receive the right help, at the right time, in the right place.
The Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale young people’s mental health support team is run by mental health and learning disability trust Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with local charities Early Break, Link4Life, Place2Be and Youth in Mind (part of Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind).
