Young people's and children's mental health
This section contains information for children and young people, and parents and carers, about mental health.
It is written by psychiatrists and children and young people working together. We hope you find it useful.
We believe everyone needs to make informed decisions about their health, and aim to produce information which is evidence-based, accessible and up to date.
