    Situation

    During Covid 19 there was an increase in funding for adult mental health services but youth services were often overlooked. However they faced increasing challenges such as cancelled exams and schools being closed, increasing anxiety whilst they were isolated from their normal coping mechanisms. So some who had never experienced mental health problems before began to struggle. Young people are less likely to engage through traditional methods such as through their GP and can be over looked.

    Solution

    We have a 24/7 Mindline service that is an easy and confidential way to seek emotional support and advice. Young people can also self refer through our website and be referred by other organisations. We can then offer 121 support or peer support groups so can have emotional support and coping mechanisms in a way that is tailored to the individual. This is often a service that is needed before they can enter more structured support such as CBT and a service that can continue long term.
