This report provides a review of recent evidence and an overview of a preventative approach to mental health problems in children and young people. The report highlights some key risk and protective factors for young people’s mental health. These include risks from adversity experienced in early life; disadvantaged environments; the process of exploring identity, and transitions such as leaving school for the workplace. Protective factors included benefit of social support from family, friends and communities; emotional literacy; and early intervention. Based on the research and the suggestions of a Youth Advisory Panel, the report identifies five actions for change to support good mental health and prevent the development of mental health problems. The actions cover change at the individual, family, community, and societal level. (Edited publisher abstract)

Child and adolescent mental health services are developing rapidly, yet they cannot meet the huge volume of demand that exists. Recent research has shown an increasing prevalence of mental health problems in children and young people. Mental health problems in children increase demands on social services, education, health and youth justice services, and families. These costs are astronomical when problems are allowed to persist into adulthood. Mental illness is costing the UK £93billion a year, and this is set to rise. This report describes the findings of a high level seminar on this vital but neglected issue.
