Youth Mental Health Care Lagging Need, Charities Warn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mental health support for children and young people “is not keeping up with rising levels of need”, according to Future Minds, a coalition of children’s mental health charities. The Future Minds coalition, which includes the Centre for Young Lives and the Centre for Mental Health, said that over the Labour government's 2 years in power, no progress had been made on improving new access and waiting time standards for children and young people’s mental health services.

However, while expert commentary acknow
NHS Alliance Warns ADHD, Autism Costs Spiralling (opens the original)
