Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing
Improving the mental health and well-being of young people is a key priority for the Welsh Government and there is range of guidance to support specialist services as well guidance to support other agencies. This includes the Welsh’s Government’s Framework on embedding a whole school approach to mental well-being and our NEST/NYTH planning framework which aims to ensure a whole system approach for developing mental health, well-being and support services for babies, children, young people, parents, carers and their wider families across Wales.
