Ms Christina Riordan:

It is not a case of either-or. In the context of the inverted pyramid of mental health services, and the filtration down of awareness, self-help and lower level interventions, we are placed at community-level primary care services. There will always be children that will need to filter down into those more clinical services but if robust intervention is put in at that community level, and early intervention and early support are provided, the number of children who will filter down into clinical services will inevitably be reduced. For us, it is not either-or.
