Children and young people’s mental health
The number of children and young people experiencing mental health problems is growing UK-wide. Some children and young people are at greater risk of mental health problems than others. Poor mental health in childhood increases health and wellbeing risks later in life.
Although mental health services are expanding, many children and young people don’t get the support they need.
Southwark Public Health Division has produced a report identifying the mental health needs of local children and young people, and service provision; other resources are also listed. Please note that this list will be updated when new information becomes available.
