It s more important than ever during the current pandemic restrictions to look after our children s mental health and wellbeing, says a leading charity.
As part of Children s Mental Health week, free resources are being made available to help youngsters and their parents.
Children s Mental Health Week is being staged this week
It is estimated one in six school-aged children in the UK now has a diagnosable mental disorder, an increase from one in nine in 2017.
Effective support from an early stage not only helps children and young people cope with challenging life circumstances, but can also prevent problems from escalating and becoming more serious in adolescence and adulthood.
