Abstract
New roles have been developed to meet increased demands for children and young people’s (CYP) mental health support. In 2017, Children’s Wellbeing Practitioners (CWP) and Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHP) psychological professions’ training programmes were introduced. A new Children & Young People’s Mental Health Practitioner (CYP-MHP) role has now been piloted with the aim of improving access to CYP mental health support through early intervention, providing psychoeducation, advice and signposting. This pilot provides a new service; CWP/EMHP require training and deliver therapy, whereas CYP-MHP provides a triage/assessment therapeutic service and does not require NHS-funded training. Outcomes of the pilot evaluation demonstrate a place for this role in primary care, where there existed a gap before.
