The UK is facing a growing mental health crisis among young people, with NHS statistics showing a significant rise in probable mental health disorders among 8-16 year olds, from 12.5% in 2017 to 20% in 2023. A recent report by the Children's Commissioner for England revealed that over 250,000 children are unable to access necessary mental health support. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing mental health issues, beyond just promoting resilience. With the increasing demand for mental health services and support, it's essential to prioritize access to therapy and counseling for vulnerable young people, and to address the root causes of this crisis, including anxiety and depression.
