EVIDENCE

  • Every year, one young person in ten experiences a mental health problem. (Centre for Mental Health, 2018)
  • In 2015, 22% of young people aged 15 reported having ever self-harmed (Brooks et al., 2015). 
  • Male rates of suicide still remain consistently threefold higher than female rates. However, female suicide rates are currently at their highest rate for a decade. (Samaritans, 2017). 
  • Whilst three quarters of parents of children who are unwell seek help (mostly from schools), only one quarter of children receive any support. (Green et al, 2005)
  • 19% men and 35% women aged 16-24 reported suicidal thoughts in the national mental health survey. (McManus et al., 2009)
