Statement on child and youth mental health in Europe

This brief presents evidence why European policymakers should prioritise child and youth mental health. It does so by exploring the prevalence of poor mental health in the European child population and how changing environments are influencing mental health issues. It was written on behalf of the Alliance for Childhood European Network Group, with support from Barbara Schiller and Francesco Zoccarato (StArt), and Olivier Piedfort and Russell Hurn (EMDR).
