The study reveals changes in service use and outcomes in mental health crisis care for young people, highlighting the need for investment in effective community models.
Rapids has evolved into an established model of crisis care within CAMHS, addressing acute needs through timely community-based interventions. We observed meaningful temporal changes in the clinical acuity, diagnostic profile, and service use outcomes of young people presenting to our community-based CAMHS crisis service. Our findings support the feasibility and scalability of intensive community-based crisis care and highlight the need for sustained investment in culturally responsive, multidisciplinary service models.
