flag UK charities urge faster rollout of youth mental health hubs amid rising demand and delays.

flag The UK government faces growing pressure to speed up its rollout of Young Futures Hubs, mental health support centers for youth, after a charity warned current progress is too slow. flag Mind says the planned 50 hubs—starting with eight in 2025—lack confirmed locations and service areas, and calls for universal coverage across England. flag With over 500,000 young people on NHS waiting lists and one in four young adults experiencing anxiety or depression, the charity emphasizes that early intervention could prevent crises and reduce long-term strain on health and employment systems. flag A one-time £121 million and £210 million annual investment are estimated to achieve full coverage by 2035. flag Personal stories, like that of 18-year-old Gabriella Christou, illustrate years-long delays in care despite repeated attempts to access support, highlighting systemic gaps. flag Over 40% of young people report feeling stigmatized by public debates on mental health diagnoses.
