The new Mental Health Act recognises children and adolescents as a vulnerable group.

As such, it ensures that this group receives age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed care.

That’s according to psychiatrist Dr. Cheriann Catwell, who emphasises that the Act protects their right to participate in decisions about their care, with appropriate consent procedures in place.
