Young People's Mental Health Is On The Government's Agenda – But Do Recent Proposals Go Far Enough? - HuffPost UK This week is Children’s Mental Health Week. The latest figures show that 800,000 children in England have mental health disorders and between a sixth and a quarter of children referred to specialist treatment are turned away. Seventy-five per cent of lifelong mental health conditions develop by age 18, and people with serious mental ill-health live 10 to 20 years less than mentally healthy people. Figures released last week show a significant rise in self-harm in children as young as three.
The week is run by school counselling provider Place2Be – and provides a good opportunity to review the latest developments on children and young people’s mental health. HuffPost UK
