The Children’s Commissioner for Wales has highlighted the need for transformation in the way services work together to support children and young people whose needs are not deemed severe enough to require specialist support but, who are emotionally distressed and/or have behavioural issues. The aim is to produce a strategy that enables the North Wales Local Authority and Health Board partners to support the emotional resilience and mental health of children and young people in this group, across the region.
The strategy proposes how agencies can best work together to respond to the full spectrum of needs of children and young people who are experiencing mental health problems. It identifies opportunities for the future development of services drawing on models of good practice in Wales and beyond.
