BACKGROUND: Adolescents are increasingly experiencing multiple stresses and emotional problems. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services have a role in working creatively to provide easily accessible and non-stigmatising services. METHOD: A training and consultation model was developed to respond to the needs of Tier 1 staff encountering vulnerable adolescents in a deprived inner city area. This paper describes the development of a partnership between the clinical psychology service and the school health system and the application of the practice model. CONCLUSION: The evaluation, clinical implications and future developments are discussed.
