Third Of Children's Mental Health Services 'Downsizing Or Facing Closure' Causing 'Real Urgency' A third of children’s mental health services are downsizing or facing closure, a new survey has found.
Worryingly, 84% of NHS counsellors, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts say children now need to have more “severe” levels of illness in order to get help.
And 67% say waiting times have got longer over the last five years.
The findings were the result of a joint survey of 3,000 NHS counsellors, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts from the Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP), British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
