In this article we give an alternative view of service provision for adolescents with emotional difficulties centred around four high schools. We believe that the service we offer differs in a number of ways and has a number of benefits for clients and other pupils and staff at the schools. We present this view of our service with some information about its historical context and as a snapshot of the current state of the service in the expectation that there will be further developments.
