Youth Focus is here to help create a world where a young person’s mental health does not get in the way of them being who they want to be.
That’s why we have joined with leading youth mental health organisations across Australia to call for the national implementation of a six-point action plan that will help create change and build a stronger youth mental health system through these addressing key priorities:
- Providing free access to mental health care for all young people and children
- Addressing the ‘missing middle’ by building a layer of specialist care for those with more serious and complex mental health needs
- Investing to build an integrated mental health system
- Fast-tracking workforce development and investment in digital services
- Increasing funding for mental health promotion and prevention
- Supporting young Australians in the implementation of new social media regulations
