The number of children in contact with York NHS’s mental health service has risen by more than 40 per cent over the last two years. The frustrations of young people and their families trying to access children and adolescent mental health services in the city have been laid out in a Healthwatch York report.
A City of York Council review of the referral systems in May also found that young people felt the wait time for these services is far too long and is causing a further negative impact. One woman who contacted Healthwatch and works with young people stated that mental health services “practically do not exist in York”.
