The government’s early help hubs scheme, designed to enable young people to access mental health services in their community, is set to expand across 14 more areas in England.
The Department for Health and Social Care has announced an extra £3 million in funding for the hubs which offer services including psychological therapies, specialist advice on sexual health, exam worries, jobs, drugs, alcohol and financial concerns.
It initially earmarked £4.92 million to fund 10 new hubs in October last year.
The hubs are open to those aged 11 to 25 and are available for anyone who may not meet the threshold to receive NHS support.
