Summary:

Youth Access’ previous research has pointed to a potential major role for youth advice services in ameliorating young people’s mental health problems through the provision of social welfare advice. This study set out to investigate whether a robust case can be made for the cost-effectiveness of youth advice, particularly as a mental health intervention.
