The Missing Middle

I went to a Continuing Professional Development day for those working with Children, Young People and Families (CYPF)organised by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. There was a discussion about the “missing middle” in CYPF mental health care, and the number of young people who fall between the gap of mental health support teams and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The BACP propose an “additional mental health professional in every school workforce”. See the flowchart: https://www.bacp.co.uk/media/22450/bacp-bridging-the-missing-middle-gap.pdf
