I am a clinical psychologist in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), and we\u2019ve seen a threefold increase in referrals since 2020. Only one in three children and young people (CYP) with mental health needs can access services,* and even among those we see, around 40% do not improve. Young people themselves highlight access to services and stigma as key issues, and condemn our often gloomy settings. These issues, compounded by a workforce struggling with recruitment and retention, call for change.<\/p>\n<p>The national\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/implementingthrive.org\/about-us\/the-thrive-framework\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THRIVE framework for system change<\/a>\u00a0emphasises a broader mental health support offer and prioritises the strengths, interests and existing relationships in the lives of CYP.

Diverse evidence suggests that engaging with the arts and culture benefits wellbeing in a wide range of ways** and that group-based arts engagement can promote and improve the mental health of
