Charities Warn Youth Mental Health Care Falls Short of Need

Original: Youth Mental Health Care Lagging Need, Charities Warn

Charities are warning that mental health care for young people is lagging well behind the level of need, with services unable to keep pace with rising demand. According to a Medscape report, support organisations say children and adolescents are facing long waits and insufficient access to treatment, and they are calling on governments and health systems to prioritise investment in youth mental health provision.

Why now: Rising concern over growing demand for youth mental health services and the gap in provision has put the issue back in the spotlight.
