Children and Young People's Mental Health Team

Our aim is that all children and young people (CYP) in London have access to timely and appropriate support and services aligned with their mental health needs, with an emphasis on prevention, early intervention and specialist support where it is needed.

A range of national strategies and policies mandate action to transform the mental health system for children and young people including Future in Mind and the NHS Long Term Plan. We are supporting our partners, including Integrated Care Boards, to transform services and care through hands on advice, publishing guidance, developing ‘once for London’ resources and running events and workshops to facilitate the sharing and development of best practice. Engagement with CYP, parents and carers runs through everything we do.
