đź’™ More mental health support for children and young people in the South West.
A new Acute Care Response Team (ACRT) is now supporting children and young people experiencing a mental health crisis, right in their local community.
The team provides rapid, flexible support for young people up to 18 years old, as well as their families and carers.
It can also provide extra support for young people living with ongoing mental health conditions who may need more frequent support.
Working alongside local health and community services, the ACRT helps connect young people and their families with the right support, when they need it.
