1 in 8 children today have a diagnosable mental health problem.

50% of people with lifetime mental health problems first experience symptoms by the age 14.

Rates of depression and anxiety among teenagers have increased by 70% in the past 25 years.

This is why Place2Be's work in schools throughout the UK is so important. I'm walking the South Downs to help this fantastic cause and would be so grateful for any support you're able to give - together we can make a real and positive difference to children's mental health.
