The impact of the crisis in children’s mental health on children’s overall wellbeing and school experience and attendance. The latest survey by NHS digital has shown that in 2022, 18.0% of children aged 7 to 16 years had a probable mental disorder. The same survey also found that school absence rates are higher in children aged 7 to 16 with a probable mental health disorder, 12.6% missed more than 15 days of school compared with just 4% of those unlikely to have a mental disorder
Through our dedicated interventions and support, we aim to improve children’s mental health, thus positively influencing their school attendance and overall engagement. Our programmes provide essential tools, therapies, and guidance to help children navigate their mental health challenges, build resilience, and thrive academically. By empowering children, we aim to mitigate the factors contributing to high absence rates and ensure a positive and fulfilling school experience
