Mental health outcomes can be improved.
Stress, anxiety, depression and suicide are impacting our whole society.
- 25% of us are going to be affected by a mental health issue (Mind).
- 10% of young people aged 5-16 have a diagnosed mental health problem (Kessler et al).
- 50% of all mental health problems are established by the age of 14 (Gov.uk) and 75% by the age of 18.
The rationale for early intervention is strong.
As Frederick Douglass said: "It is easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken adults".
