Children and teenagers to benefit from successful adult mental health therapy
Children and teenagers to benefit from successful adult mental health therapyPress Release from Department of Health
The Government is investing £32 million in psychological therapies, including talking therapies,
for children and young people with mental health problems, Care Services Minister Paul Burstow will announce today.
One in ten children aged 5-16 years has a clinically diagnosable mental health problem. At any one time, more than a million children will have a diagnosable mental health disorder and mental illness in childhood and adolescence costs up to £59,000 per child every year.
Giving children the right help early on can set them up for life - reducing the chance of them ending up in prison and making them more likely to get a job when they grow up.
Psychological therapies have been successful in helping adults to recover from anxiety and depression with many going back to work and living more functional lives. We know that children and young people have very different needs to adults, so we are taking the successful parts of the adult programme and adapting them for children and young people.
