Recommendation
It is clear that young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 face some of the widest gaps between the support that they need and the support that is available to them. 56 Children and young people’s mental health We welcome NHS England & Improvement’s commitment to shift away from the current model of care towards one that provides for those aged 0–25. However, we have heard progress on this has been slow, with large variation between areas on what age services are commissioned to. Lucas’s story provided a stark reminder that the transition to adult services remains poor for many children and young people, with high rates of drop-out from services in this period. It is essential that young people do not experience a sudden drop in their support at the age of 18.
