Nick O'Shea and Charlotte Rainer: Investing in children's mental health

For too long, children's mental health has been underfunded. Children face a postcode lottery when it comes to mental health care, despite the clear moral and economic benefits of early intervention. In this episode, Thea hears from Nick O'Shea, the Centre’s Chief Economist, and Charlotte Rainer, Lead of the Children & Young People’s Mental Health Coalition, about our new research, 'Time for action'. It sets out the need for a strategic investment strategy for 0-25 year olds to prevent more young people falling through the gaps. Nick and Charlotte highlight what support is needed at each age, and how we'll be working over the next year to fight for children's mental health.
