Why are mental health and physical health services so different? Physical health services have long been long established due to more research and understanding. Mental health is still catching up with both of these.
For example, if your child is struggling with their mental health, they would be seen by the GP and then referred to specialist services such as Child and Adolescent Services (CAMHS.) There is not much in between.
We believe that one of the ways to manage this disparity is to bring quality mental health education into schools, in the same way physical education is prioritised. This is why we developed our award winning program, My Feelings and Me to bridge this gap. Change starts with education and we will continue to champion proactive quality mental health education for the next generation.
