Significantly more girls access mental health services in Northamptonshire, new report reveals

Significantly more girls access mental health services in Northamptonshire, new report reveals  Youngsters battling mental health issues in Northamptonshire say long waiting times are the most common challenge they face when trying to access help.

More than 700 responses from young people between the ages of 11-19 years old in this county have been collated by Young Healthwatch Northamptonshire in their new emotional wellbeing report, published yesterday (November 29).

The report pinpoints over 60 per cent of young people wished to receive support at school and significantly more girls (43 per cent) said they had needed to access support for their emotional well being, compared to a smaller percentage of their male counterparts (26 per cent).
