Closed Review provision and increase funding for children's mental health services

Closed on

Five years we've waited for help & we are still waiting; for many families, it's been longer. I believe Children & Young People's Mental Health Services are in crisis to the detriment of our society. Action needs to be taken to fund all areas urgently to boost availability across all ages.

The Government should review:
* Accessibility of services currently available, looking at less convoluted assessment and diagnostic pathways, and barriers to access
* Efficacy of existing mental health and neurodivergence training for all professionals working with children

Increased funding could:
* Boost current services and provide new services across the UK
* Incentivise entry into professions required to support these services
* Provide new outreach programmes to support struggling families
