Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services figures 'tip of the iceberg' warns Children First
Commenting on today's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Mary Glasgow, chief executive of Children First, said: “We know that today’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) figures are just the tip of the iceberg. Every day, Children First teams across Scotland are hearing from more and more children and young people in severe distress. Scotland is facing a childhood emergency. Children need help now.
“Scottish Government must do more to invest in early help and support to prevent children reaching crisis point.
“If you are worried about your child, then Children First’s support line is here to help.
“You can contact our friendly team on 08000 28 22 33 or on our website at https://www.childrenfirst.org.uk/supportline .”
