Why Youth MHFA matters cont.
Many young people don’t receive adequate treatment or delay accessing treatment Professional help is not always on hand, and many young people may wait for years before seeking help. The longer young people don’t receive help, the more difficult their recovery may be. Young people may be more likely to seek help if someone close to them suggests it and they feel they have all the information they need. Youth MHFAiders can assist the young person in understanding the routes to professional help, what treatment looks like, and explore any worries or barriers they may have.
