Summary
Too many young people in crisis are left without safe care or are discharged too soon. This puts lives at risk. The government must ensure consistent hospital support, proper crisis care, and safe alternatives so no young person is left alone at their most vulnerable. Young people experiencing mental health crises are too often met with inconsistent care, long waits, or discharge into unsafe environments. This is dangerous and can lead to worsening conditions or repeated crises. The government must ensure reliable hospital support, invest in safe alternatives to discharge, and improve coordination between services so young people receive continuous, appropriate care when they are most vulnerable.
