How to Support Children with Anxiety
Monday 20th February 2023
Anxiety is on the rise – and not just in adults. In 2022, a record 420,000 children a month were treated for mental health problems in the UK alone. In addition, the World Health Organisation noted a 25% increase – globally – in anxiety and depression during the pandemic. However, the unfortunate truth is that specialist services are overstretched, and many young people who need mental health support are either forced to join a long waiting list or to develop their own coping mechanisms.
