Access to #mentalhealth support varies dramatically due to the postcode lottery. Digital services present an avenue to reach underserved children where F2F services are not available or feel a challenge to access. Help us, help more #CYPs . Join the #SolvingTogether conversation.

These four technologies recommended by NICE represent a promising step forward for new treatment options for children and young people between the age of 5 to 18.

Early evidence shows they are helping those suffering from mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety or low mood.

Thrilled to share that the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence NICE has recommended Lumi Nova, our evidence-based digital #mentalhealth technology intervention for #anxiety in children & young people.

We've shared an infographic to help visualise the painful journey for CYP and families in search of help. What do we need to do differently so that no child is unable to access timely and appropriate mental health support? buff.ly/3oucMsS

Fully agree. Children living in the poorest households are 2 - 3x more likely to experience mental illness vs those in the highest income bracket. And anxiety and depression are in the top 3 in terms of global burden of disease leading to poorer prospects. It's a vicious cycle.

Thank you YoungMinds 🙏 100% agree. This EXACTLY what we're trying to do BfB Labs with our NHS and voluntary sector partners!! Check out Lumi Nova for 7-12 yr olds. AND it's fun.. #CYPMHWhatIf

Have you ever caught yourself wondering WHAT IF we had been able to support a child when they were 10 before it gets to crisis at 15, because in his words 'I had not dealt with my feelings for so long'? Been doing that alot recently. #CYPMHWhatIf
