Description

Clare Bennett and co-authors map crisis care services for children and young people across England and Wales in a 2025 survey. Youth mental health crises draw growing investment, yet nobody had charted how the services actually run. A custom survey went to services nationwide, blending service facts with a tool that gauges how new practices bed in.

Usable replies came from more than a hundred twenty services. The team sorts them into a typology, a family tree of service shapes, staffing, and user mixes. Patterns of setup and delivery differ widely between regions. The map gives planners and frontline staff a shared picture to build on.
