US EditionMental health affecting education attendance 'for half of young people', says report
Nearly half of young people report mental health issues impacting school attendance amid long waiting lists for support, with 50 new support hubs planned by 2029, Mind says.
- Mind, UK mental health charity, found nearly half of young people report mental health disrupts their school or college attendance, highlighting strain among the post-lockdown cohort.
- The government announced it will open eight Young Futures Hubs this year to support at-risk teenagers and plans to expand to 50, but Mind warns locations remain unconfirmed.
- Abdirizak Mohamed, 23, described seeking help from No Limits, charity providing prevention, early intervention and crisis support, saying, `As a young person, if you keep everything to yourself you harm yourself, and that's also one of the biggest things that can destroy you.`
- Charities warn waiting lists for GP appointments and children and adult mental health services can reach two years, with almost a third waiting that long, risking young people’s mental and physical health.
- Post-Lockdown research shows the post-lockdown generation, especially 18- and 22-year-olds, face challenges, and Mind says hubs without GP referrals reduce stigma and aid timely support.
