These are the facts (mental-health-statistics)
One in six children aged five to 16 were identified as having a probable mental health problem in July 2021, a huge increase from one in nine in 2017. That’s five children in every classroom
The number of A&E attendances by young people aged 18 or under with a recorded diagnosis of a psychiatric condition more than tripled between 2010 and 2018-19
83% of young people with mental health needs agreed that the coronavirus pandemic had made their mental health worse.
In 2018-19, 24% of 17-year-olds reported having self-harmed in the previous year, and seven per cent reported having self-harmed with suicidal intent at some point in their lives. 16% reported high levels of psychological distress
Suicide was the leading cause of death for males and females aged between five to 34 in 2019.
Nearly half of 17-19 year-olds with a diagnosable mental health disorder has self-harmed or attempted suicide at some point, rising to 52.7% for young women.
This World Mental Health Day, we want everyone to wear something yellow and join with thousands of others across the UK to raise awareness and to show young people that they’re not alone with their mental health.
Because we stand brighter, together. https://lnkd.in/dZe2-Nz6
#youngminds
Let’s stand out and show up for the young people in our lives this #HelloYellow taking place tomorrow.
Wear something yellow for your family, your mates, all the young people you know.
Show them that no matter what they are going through, or how hard things are right now, they are not alone.
