The Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition have published a live briefing considering the impact of COVID-19 on children and young people’s mental health, and the services that support them. The Coalition and its members are committed to supporting evidence-based approach in responding to COVID-19, and ensure they protect against a public health crisis during, and in the wave of the pandemic.

CYPMH Coalition hope this briefing is useful in orienting what the impacts of COVID-19 might be on children and young people, and assist you in thinking through your own policy, advocacy, practical or operational responses.
