No waiting lists?: The mental health service doing things differently
Fiona (pics 4pm) "We wanted to do something even before the pandemic happened and we had been talking about how we could support children who are on a waiting list - because even before the pandemic the waiting lists were still lengthy. And because we had been working closely with CAMHS within the hospital setting, this was something we recognised to be a problem - but then obviously the pandemic hit and everything changed for all charities and sectors so we had to put a pause on that. Coming out of the pandemic, the need was even greater, so we wanted to do something quite quickly to support those families."
