Thousands more young people will get the mental health support they need thanks to a £7 million funding boost for early support hubs across England.
Early support hubs are community-based services that provide drop-in mental health support for young people aged 11 to 25 with a range of issues, helping to prevent more severe mental illness without the need for a referral or doctor’s appointment, News Cover reports, citing the UK government's official website.
The investment will allow the 24 existing hubs to expand services in local communities, delivering 10,000 additional mental health and wellbeing interventions over the next 12 months.
This could include counselling, group work, therapeutic support and specialist advice.
