Can we create a better future for our young people?
Wednesday 4th SepSo why am I taking on another challenge, simple… the statistics are frightening on young people’s mental health.
One in six 7-16 has a mental health problem. An alarming rise from one in ten in 2004.
Children from the poorest 20% households are four times as likely to have mental health difficulties by the age of 11.
Self-harm is more common among young people than any other age group.
Suicide is the largest cause of mortality among young people under 35.
Depression and anxiety are increasing among 16-24 year olds and are 3 times more common in young women.
Around one in twenty boys aged 5-19 have a behavioural disorder.
Young people are our future… they need the help and support to shine bright. Together we can give them that opportunity and take away the stigma of mental health disorders.
