Adults must 'find what is best' for young people in mental health crisis

Young people at the Yap Ireland National Conference in Croke Park on Thursday.

Adults working with young people in mental health crises need to find what is best for them instead of picking on what is wrong, a Cork-based youth advocate has said.

An information pack for young people attending inpatient psychiatric units or who are in recovery was launched on Thursday by Youth Advocate Programmes (YAP) Ireland in partnership with the Mental Health Commission.
