Where a child grows up shapes their mental health. Children in disadvantaged areas face higher anxiety and depression levels but worse access to support. Mental health is made in communities. We need services built around children's environments.🔗 www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications...

Text: Where we live is a critical factor in our mental health, not a neutral backdrop. Mental health inequalities are driven by poverty, poor quality and insecure homes, access to green space, and lack of access to culturally competent mental health support.

Text: Children living in disadvantaged areas experience higher rates of anxiety and depression, yet are less likely to access timely and appropriate support than children living in more affluent areas. Policy makers must design services that recognise how children’s mental health is shaped by the environment around them.

"I’ve worked with children and families for nearly 30 years, and in all that time, I don’t think I’ve seen things as tough for parents, especially new parents, as they are today,” said Juliea Morris, one of our Family Services Managers. More via @bigissue.com here: www.bigissue.com/opinion/baby...

'I've worked with children for 30 years. It's never been tougher'

The cost of living is so tough. New parents should be given baby bundles to help their children, writes Barnardo's' Juliea Morris.
