Description: Campaigning on the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people…
At any one time, 1 in 6 children and young people have a diagnosable mental health problem, and it is well established that most adolescent and adult mental illness can be traced back to childhood. Addressing issues early helps individuals and society – that message needs a powerful voice.
The Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition brings together organisations to campaign jointly and provides a strong unified voice speaking out about children and young people’s mental health.
Children & Young People’s Mental Health Coalition and Centre for Mental Health have co-authored this fourth report from the Commission on Young Lives on rethinking mental health services for vulnerable young people.
