Children and Young People’s Mental Health – Local Government Association on Building Resilience

Please find here a new report by the Local Government Association on Building resilience: how local partnerships are supporting children and young people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.

The purpose of this research is, firstly, to explore some of the factors which are contributing to this nationally challenging context and, secondly, to develop an evidence base for how local government and its partners can work most effectively together to deliver a coherent and joined-up offer of support for children and young people’s mental health. The research is based on a review of the existing evidence base, workshops with around 80 participants from councils and their partners in health and in-depth engagements with eight fieldwork areas.
