Mental health problems can cast a long shadow over a child’s life. Addressing them early and providing robust support systems can mitigate the long-term impacts, and help young people build a foundation for a healthier, thriving future.

Rates of mental health problems among young people have risen significantly over recent years, and now affect one in five 8-25 year olds. In a new report, we explore how the Government could turn the tide through evidence-based and cost-effective strategies.
