Urgent funding for Advanced Youth Mental Health Service in Queensland
Urgent funding for Advanced Youth Mental Health Service in Queensland
The issue
TO HON CAMERON DICK MP, MINISTER FOR HEALTH:
Urgent funding is now required to establish an advanced youth mental health service for the young people of Queensland.
Our youth are at crisis point with one in four young Australians suffering from a mental health issue before the age of 25. We need to act now!
Youth mental health is complex. Serious mental illness is very complex. The QLD State Government needs to provide an option for the vulnerable young people of Queensland and their carers. They urgently need a dedicated “second opinion” assessment service that will leave no stone unturned. It is the duty of our Government to prioritise mental health diagnostics, the development and delivery of treatment plans and to act on the findings of the latest research available to us.
