Children as young as six are increasingly arriving at A&E in England during mental health crises. NHS data shows attendances among 6–17-year-olds rose 36% from 2019 to 2025, reaching 75,491. Doctors warn A&E is not designed for prolonged mental health care, with over 6,200 children waiting more than 12 hours. Experts are calling for stronger community-based support. Julia Hartley-Brewer interviews behavioural health expert Alastair Mordey. #ChildMentalHealth #MentalHealthCrisis #NHS #AandE #UKHealth #YouthMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #NHSNews #Children #MentalHealthSupport Have you got a story?
