With World Mental Health Day fast approaching on October 10, did you get the chance to check out the extensive content available on mental wellbeing on Into Film+?
It is more important than ever to ensure that young people across the UK are educated on the issues of mental wellbeing. A report by children’s mental health charity Place2Be shows that:
- 1 in 6 children and young people have a diagnosable mental health problem
- 50% of those with lifetime mental health problems first experience symptoms by age 14
- 1 in 10 boys between ages 5-19 with a mental health condition end up excluded from school
These statistics are a stark reminder that mental health education should remain a vital priority within schools, and that’s where we can help.
