How are children and young people getting on in the UK? Studies suggest that the school system is a significant negative factor in the lives of many of our CYP. Whilst some enjoy school, many others experience it as psychologically harmful and this is reported, consistently, by young people and families. Despite this, CYP have almost no say in the structures and aims of education and their voices are silent when it comes to implementing national policies.

From COP29 to Net Zero Mental Health Care: What does it mean for Child and Adolescent Mental Health professionals?
Climate change and biodiversity loss are affecting the mental health of children and young people worldwide.
