Our needs assessment showed duplication, poor data and a lack of coordination when children and young people were accessing mental health support. 43% of referrals to local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) did not meet the threshold for support. Our vision is that children and young people in Wirral have good emotional health and know how and when to get extra support. In November 2024 Wirral Children and Young People’s Mental Health Alliance launched Branch - a single point of access for children and young people’s emotional wellbeing.
