Recent research has shown that the mental health of young people has declined especially over the pandemic. In 2020, one in six (16.0%) children aged 5 to 16 years were identified as having a mental disorder.
Our campaign offers five steps we can all take to boost our personal wellbeing and prevent mental health problems, especially during difficult times.
These actions are:
- Feeling connected
