We’re proud to be partnering with the Centre for Mental Health in the launching of the, 'Mapping the Mental Health of the UK's Young People' report. Mapping mental health across the UK is critical in improving our understanding of mental health among UK young people and in better targeting support and prevention - so that we can turn the tide on the mental health crisis. As our very own, Lynne Green, Chief Clinical Officer at Kooth Digital Health (United Kingdom), explains within the report: “Young people’s chances of good or poor mental health are shaped by the places they live in and the support available to them. By understanding the levels of need, steps can be taken to prevent problems whenever possible, and provide support wherever and however it’s needed."
