Current opinion in psychiatry
-
The purpose of this paper is to review the literature reporting on children and young people's views on child and adolescent mental health services. ⋯ To date, children and young people have not been actively engaged or involved in service development. This is an evolving field and we need to ensure that existing evidence is taken into account as well as investigating further the views of young people. Child and adolescent mental health services need to consider how we serve young people, particularly children, whose perspectives may differ from those of their parents.
