50% of mental health problems are established by age 14 and 75% by age 24. 10% of children and young people (aged 5-16 years) have a clinically diagnosable mental problem3, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age. Social and emotional wellbeing creates the foundations for healthy behaviours and educational attainment. Evidence shows that poor social and emotional wellbeing predicts a range of negative outcomes in adolescence and adulthood. For example, negative parenting and poor-quality family or school relationships place children at risk of poor mental health. Early intervention in childhood can help reduce physical and mental health problems and prevent social dysfunction being passed from one generation to the next.
