#FundTheHubs: Joint response to the Mental health and wellbeing plan: discussion paper

This is a joint response from the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition, Centre for Mental Health, Global Black Thrive, Mind, The Children’s Society, YoungMinds and Youth Access in support of our joint #FundTheHubs campaign.

We welcome the development of a new mental health and wellbeing plan that seeks to set out a 10-year vision for change and advocates for a cross-government approach. The plan presents a crucial opportunity to expand early intervention and prevention services for children and young people building on the Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Green Paper and the NHS Long Term Plan.

We are calling for the national rollout of the early support hubs model which would ensure that young people in every area across England can access early support for their mental health.
