Members' Business — S6M-12935 Martin Whitfield: Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity

Tuesday 24 September 2024 5:30 PM

Details

That the Parliament congratulates Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity on what it considers to be a successful first six months of its No Time To Wait campaign, which launched a pilot wellbeing and resilience service, The Haven, in September 2023 in Tranent, East Lothian, as an intervention to avert the potential mental health crisis facing children and young people in Scotland; notes that, since it opened, there have been 1,264 visits to The Haven, of which 274 were unique visitors who were directly supported by the service; understands that the service is fully funded by the charity, and aims to complement child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and to help prevent problems escalating to the point where professional intervention is needed; notes reports that Scotland’s mental health crisis affects children across Scotland, impacting their childhoods, their futures and their families’ lives, and further notes the belief that, without access to effective early intervention, there is a risk that the mental health problems of Scotland's children today become the mental health problems of the adults of tomorrow.
