Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to provide parents who have children suffering from mental illness with the advice they need?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing
The Welsh Government continues to fund a range of easy to access mental health support and advice. This support includes the Community Advice and Listening Line (CALL) which offers free emotional support and information to anyone living in Wales. We also provide a range of online support via SilverCloud in Wales. This includes a specific programme on supporting anxious children and young people.
All of this support can be accessed via the 111 website.
NHS mental health services will also provide a range of advice and information for young people and their families for those individuals who are accessing this level of support.
