Supporting the mental health of children aged 8-13 has largely been overlooked and under-resourced. Centre for Mental Health is working with A Million & Me, a programme aiming to address this gap in provision and improve the emotional health of children under 14.
The Everyday magic briefing finds that within trusting, positive relationships, everyday conversations about mental health can equip children to learn about their mental wellbeing and reach out for help when they need it. The briefing also finds that a holistic, partnership approach can build “scaffolding” to enhance children’s mental health.
