I need help now
Do you need to speak to someone about your emotional wellbeing?
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
1 in 6 children and young people had a diagnosable mental health condition in 2021, such as anxiety or depression.This is up from 1 in 9 in 2017.
