lose focus and disengage from the process if no change was noticed early on .
Even in cases where interventions may prove particularly difficult , such as in those with autism , a significant benefit can still be achieved with some minor adaptations and consideration .
Could HISP be the future of mental health support in schools ?
HISP is by no means the only intervention for helping children and young people , nor is it necessarily always the best one . But it is a valuable addition to a school ’ s toolkit when they notice a pupil that needs support .
As misconceptions are overcome and the word spreads , it is my hope that one day HISP will be as commonplace and accepted within schools as counsellors are today .
