    Situation

    76% of families report children with anxiety disorders & we're experiencing an unprecedented surge in demand. Families talk about 'feeling trapped', experiencing panic attacks, increased OCD, irrational fears & stress disorders. Key issues: Only 1 in 3 children with a diagnosable mental health condition get access to treatment 75% believe their child's mental health deteriorated while waiting for support from CAMHS. 48% of those diagnosed self harmed We need to address the challenges

    Solution

    1. Video Support: Our support professionals will offer both individual & peer group support sessions via Zoom. The group sessions will cover the impact of mental health issues for adolescents living with cancer. 2. Create a Chatbot: The key purpose is to offer short, quick info on what teenagers need to know. If more info is needed it will provide useful links. 3. We plan to create a Live Chat to allow chat for families and especially those with children with complex special needs.
