We are seeking support for our Young Adult Service to offer specialist therapeutic support to some of the most disadvantaged 18-24 year olds in Haringey. Our service meets a significant gap for young people turning 18 adult mental health services are often not accessible nor appropriate for young adults. This transition point is a crucial life stage laying the foundations for the future; 75% of enduring mental health problems start before the age of 24. It is also a time of great pressure; rates of mental ill health double in this age group. Demand is at an all-time high for this unique service, especially given the impact of the pandemic. However, we receive no statutory funding for our young adults service and sadly, we have closed our waiting list until we can secure further funding. We have the infrastructure in place, we now need the funds to secure the therapist hours to help more young people at a crucial time so they can move on positively with their lives.
