Too many young people “suffering in silence” with mental health problems
Up to £22m will be pumped into a pioneering programme to give children with mental health problems access to the best available services in a wider range of places.
The new investment in the Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) project will be spent over the next three years to expand state-of-the-art psychological therapies and extend training for people working with youngsters outside of health settings, such as in schools or youth groups.
