Improving access and waiting times for children and young people’s mental health services

Solving together: an online conversation about reducing waiting times for children and young people’s community mental health services

For the first time, the NHS is launching a month-long online conversation on children and young people’s mental health, with a focus on gathering learning and ideas on how we can improve waiting times and make community mental health services more accessible.

Using the Solving Together platform, we will be inviting partners involved in the children and young people’s mental health pathway, professionals, children and young people and their families to have a say about this critical issue – with a focus on collecting ideas and best practice for ways to make our NHS services better in the future.

We then plan to work with teams across the country to prototype and test the most promising ideas.  The conversations are now live and will run until 3rd November. Come and have your say – we want to hear from you at https://solvingtogether.crowdicity.com/
