Neurodivergent - (Inpatient) How do we make it better?

DISCUSSION

Hypothetical question that came up after watching the new Neurodivergent video (which is another amazing one and a fun video but complex thought provoking lyrics as normal)!

These things always get me thinking how do we change “Current situation for supporting young neurodivergent people with their mental health is SHIT. How do we make it better? How do we create new systems?”

So – if someone put £250k into your bank account – how would you spend it in your region?

The (deeper) need -
Neurodivergent young people locally are facing:
- High levels of anxiety, emotional distress and sensory overwhelm
- self harming behaviours or thoughts of ending their life,
- social isolation and exclusion from education
- limited access to mental health and neurodiversity- aware services, medication research or treatments

You have 2 years to create projects and spend the money… I don’t need or want budget breakdowns. But I’m interested in how you would change/create new systems to those that haven't worked so well with the above?

I will put my answer in a separate post at a later date…
