Providing specialist mental health care to youth justice service-involved young people
There are high levels of mental health needs among young people involved with youth justice services. However, these young people can struggle to make use of mental health services without additional measures being put in place to support access, necessitating local innovation. This article provides an overview of a mental health project serving young people involved in youth justice services based in a specialist team in the child and adolescent mental health service of a single NHS trust.
