What can the law do to support the betterment of mental health of minors? In Singapore, the mental health of minors has become a critical public health concern with high rates of mental illness and suicide among youths. A potential barrier to minors’ access to mental health services is the legal requirement for parental or guardian consent. This creates challenges when parents don’t understand or acknowledge their child’s mental health needs, minors aren’t ready to discuss mental health with their parents and parents worry about stigma or future implications of a mental health diagnosis. My article ‘Revisiting Consent, Gillick Competency, Parens Patriae, and the Access of Minors to Mental Health Services in Singapore’ published in Medical Law International examines the legal infrastructure governing minors’ ability to access mental health services and explores whether current laws are adequate, or if alternatives like the Gillick competency or lowered statutory consent thresholds are needed. In addition, it considers the court’s jurisdictional powers in relation to the care and treatment of minors in the face of parental objection or disagreement.
