There is no health without mental health
The World Health Organisation predicts that by 2030 more people will be affected by depression than any other health problem. With one in ten children between the ages of 5 and 16 suffering from a mental health condition, it is vital that this is a high agenda item for all schools and anyone working with children and young people.
