1 in 6 children and young people now have a diagnosable mental health condition. Children’s Mental Health Week 2024 aims to raise awareness of the increase in diagnosis to ensure that children and young people across the UK feel listened to and know that they’re not alone.
Empowering children and young people can have a positive impact on their health and wellbeing. Children and young people who feel that their voices are heard - and that what they say makes a difference - have higher levels of self-efficacy and self-esteem.
