Abstract | High numbers of children face mental health difficulties in the UK, leading to increased referrals to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) which face reduced capacity and increased waiting times. Children’s mental health can deteriorate significantly during this wait for treatment. Safety Nets is an 8-week group intervention for children on CAMHS waiting lists, involving psychoeducation and physical activity co-delivered by clinicians and coaches at local sports clubs. A mixed-methods feasibility study was conducted exploring the impact of Safety Nets. A fully powered trial is now needed to further test for clinical and cost-effectiveness and to support future implementation. |
