Targeted Mental Health in Schools (TaMHS) is a 3-year Department for Children, Schools and Families programme aimed at supporting the development of innovative models of mental health support in schools for children and young people at risk of or experiencing mental health problems. The Me and My School project is the national evaluation of the TaMHS programme aiming to explore the impact of this programme and find out which approaches seem to be the best ways for schools to help children. The TaMHS programme began in April 2008 when 25 Local Authorities, the phase 1 areas, began their TaMHS projects. In April 2009 a further 55 phase 2 Local Authorities began their TaMHS work, and in April 2010 the remaining Local Authorities across England became phase 3 of the TaMHS programme. The majority of the findings discussed in this report are from the first year of the study (2008-9) in schools involved in phase 1 of TaMHS. Approximately 20,000 children in years 4 and 7 in 465 schools filled in online surveys concerning their feelings about themselves and their schools. Parents, teachers and school staff also completed questionnaires. The findings presented in the report relate to the following: levels of emotional and behavioural health and difficulties in schools and how pupils feel about their schools; what schools are doing or planning to do to try to help pupils with emotional or behavioural difficulties; and what phase 1 schools and local authorities are doing in comparison to phase 2 and phase 3 areas.
