Delegates back mental healthcare help for youngsters
A REVOLUTION in mental healthcare is needed to decrease the number of adolescent males committing suicide, Labour members said yesterday.
Delegates meeting at the party’s annual conference in Brighton voted unanimously yesterday to adopt a motion to drastically develop mental healthcare for young men.
The motion, dubbed the Caerphilly Strategy by its author Morgan Paulett, hopes to combat the growth of depression and poor mental health among boys and young men.
