Wellbeing Advice

The pyramid illustrates how support for children with additional needs is structured. At its base is the home, forming the essential foundation with routines, communication, and boundaries. Schools build on this by providing learning interventions, emotional and social support, and ensuring consistent attendance. Local services in Hampshire, such as the Inclusion Support Service, school nursing teams, and family programs, work alongside home and school to address specific challenges. At the top of the pyramid is CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), a specialist NHS service that provides support for severe and complex mental health needs. A strong foundation at home and school ensures that the additional support from local services and CAMHS can be effective in helping children thrive.
