Digital Therapeutic interventions (games) for better children & young people's mental health
Children & young people with mild to moderate needs often fall between the cracks or do not meet thresholds for CAMHS.Whilst a 'mental health crisis' existed before Covid-19, services are expecting a surge demand, impacting waiting times and access.
Despite anxiety being a common issue (alone or with other conditions) there is limited support, especially for those with mild to moderate needs who receive little to no evidence-based therapeutic support, which can lead to escalation.The average age of onset of common anxiety disorders is 7, but there are limited forms of support for younger children. Where they exist, they're not engaging or age-appropriate and can be stigmatising.
