The money is designed help cut the waiting times to access services for children and adolescents.
Children waiting to access mental health services on the Isle of Man should benefit from a cash injection to bring down waiting lists, the health department has said.
About £500,000 will be spent on six new roles to assist with assessing autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and provide post-diagnosis support. Health Minister Lawrie Hooper said access to support and treatment was "crucial for our children and young people". The changes would include the creation of a single access point, to include self-referrals, access to psychological therapies for young people with moderate needs, and dedicated mental health support in secondary schools and University College Isle of Man.
