More young people access mental health supports online

In the second of a two-part series on youth mental health, young people explain how there are"less barriers" to accessing support online.

While many choose to combine online support with in-person therapy, she says there are a variety of reasons young people prefer to get help solely by connecting online.

"We can fully appreciate why a parent might feel quite anxious that they are not taking an active part in it themselves.

Ms Douglas explained how they have quality standards in place in terms of the questions they ask and the"levels of distress" that they note.
