The Mental Heath of Children and Young People: A Framework for Promotion, Prevention and Care is designed for use as a self-assessment tool to help everybody working with young people develop integrated services.
The multi-agency document has been developed by the Scottish Executive's Child and Maternal Health Unit, in partnership with HeadsUpScotland, its national project for child and adolescent mental health.
