Mental health & wellbeing

The wellbeing and mental health of a child or young person supports positive outcomes in other areas, such as performance at school or behaviour at home. Early intervention can help to build up the social and emotional skills which are so essential for learning and life, support future good mental health, and discourage risky behaviour such as smoking and substance abuse.
