A new NHS-led mental health programme for children and teenagers in Shropshire has launched, hoping to tackle long wait times in the county.
The child and adolescent services will be delivered by the Midlands Partnership University NHS Trust (MPFT), replacing and expanding on its current BeeU service.
The new service model, which has launched as a three year programme, will be prioritising easier access, earlier support and more joined-up care over the next three years to ensure the right help is available at the right time, the council said.
Cathy Riley, Managing Director of MPFT’s said she understood if some families had felt “frustrated” with delays in the past.
