Mental health trailblazers.

Government plans to increase the reach of mental health services for children and young people are now underway with the trial of 59 new mental health support teams across 25 trailblazer sites in England. The government announced, in its 2017 Transforming Children and Young People's Mental Health Provision green paper, that Mental Health Support teams would be introduced and has set out aims to roll out these teams to cover a fifth to a quarter of the country by the end of 2022/23. The British Psychological Society has produced a briefing paper on how to maximise the impact of Mental Health Support Teams which will be available to all the teams through the NHS England information hub.
