As mental health professionals, we support school counsellors and broaden the scope of the care given to students within the school by taking on the role of consultants and external advocates of mental health in schools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">From March 2011, the REACH (West) team will serve 90 schools in the west school zone. The team consists of psychologists, medical social workers, occupational therapists and nurses from the Department of Psychological Medicine, National University Hospital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The REACH teams work primarily with MOE school counsellors and VWOs for early identification, support and intervention for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural difficulties and related mental health problems in primary and secondary schools and junior colleges. The teams provide training, support and helpline assistance to the school counsellors to identify and support these students aged 19 years and below. The teams also work with general practitioners in the community on the diagnoses and management of emotional and behavioural difficulties as well as related mental health problems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Associate Professor John Wong, Programme Director, REACH (West) at NUH says, \u201cThe REACH (West) programme is a component of the strategic partnership between the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health in school-based mental health promotion. Implemented by the National University Hospital and Institute of Mental Health, it is an important extension of community-based mental health support and care for our schoolchildren and teenagers in the western school zone of Singapore. This strategic programme testifies to the commitment of the partners investing in resources to provide our schoolchildren and their teachers with quicker access to mental health support and clinical services when required. More importantly, the focus on promoting emotional and mental well-being will provide greater reach for the excellent school-based programmes MOE already has in place. We hope the new network will grow to reach the hearts and minds of children and adolescents, helping them to achieve greater emotional and mental well-being!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-5953365033571\" data-node=\"5953365033571\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<h5 class=\"fl-heading\"><span class=\"fl-heading-text\">Pamphlets<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-59533662e7518 fl-col-group-nested\" data-node=\"59533662e7518\">\n<div class=\"fl-col fl-node-59533662e7d61 fl-col-small\" data-node=\"59533662e7d61\">\n<div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-59533666d378c\" data-node=\"59533666d378c\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-photo fl-photo-align-center\">\n<div class=\"fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-jpg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imh.com.sg\/uploadedfiles\/publications\/service_brochures\/brochure_reach.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fl-photo-img wp-image-1842 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/nuhscg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/12\/REACH-West_1.jpg\" alt=\"REACH-West_1\" title=\"REACH-West_1\" width=\"1339\" height=\"935\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-col fl-node-59533662e7d8e fl-col-small\" data-node=\"59533662e7d8e\">\n<div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-595336b1cb57f\" data-node=\"595336b1cb57f\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-photo fl-photo-align-center\">\n<div class=\"fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-jpg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5642eb1be4b07a45a8657c1c\/t\/57ac970abebafbf4933965a8\/1470928664598\/ADHD+Parenting+Guide+-+ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fl-photo-img wp-image-1843 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/nuhscg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/12\/REACH-West_2.jpg\" alt=\"REACH-West_2\" title=\"REACH-West_2\" width=\"660\" height=\"937\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-col fl-node-594a027def4a7 fl-col-small\" data-node=\"594a027def4a7\">\n<div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-menu fl-node-594a027def4b8 nus-submenu\" data-node=\"594a027def4b8\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-menu fl-menu-accordion-collapse\">\n<div class=\"fl-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REACH-West (Response, Early intervention and Assessment in Community mental Health) REACH is a community-based mental health service set up in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":181,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-187","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
