Headed to the post office today! Who needs a signed copy of Olivia the Brave -- 17% off through tomorrow for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

This week is **#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek** and there was an important update by **The Royal College of Psychiatrists** about children on waiting lists for treatment.

Currently, over half a million children and young people in England are on waiting lists for treatment. These are individuals who have been referred to mental health services.

53% of those have been waiting over a year and 30% have been waiting over two years which is not good enough.

The RCPsych news piece on this also comments on the risks of children — who are facing lengthy waits for treatment — seeking **#AI** chat tools for support.

In #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek I am at the showcase of the projects funded by UKRI in the Adolescence, Mental Health & the Developing Mind programme. I was lucky to be involved in two of those projects—an Engagement award & a Methodology award—and it was a fantastic experience. #AMHDShowcase #philsky

M&S and YoungMinds Smash £5m Target a Year Early, Set New £1.5m Goal for Children’s Mental Health

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.goodnewspost.co.uk/m-s-and-youngminds-smash-5m-target-a-year-early-set-new-1-5m-goal-for-childrens-mental-health/

Children’s mental health deserves early attention and compassionate care. Early experiences shape lifelong wellbeing, yet in 2024/25, 35,000 children and young people in England waited more than two years for their second contact with mental health services.

The cost of these delays are felt by children, families, schools, and communities for years to come. Together, we can make sure no child is left waiting without the support they need.

In conjunction with children's mental health week 2025, School Health Nurses came to Oldbury Academy, to share some advice with our students. The road show supports young people to be able to identify emotions and feelings, also how to build resilience and how/where to access support.
