Young people & mental health in a changing world
Ignite - October 2018
World Mental Health Day takes place on the 10th October and this years theme is ‘Young People and Mental Health In a Changing World’, as set by the World Federation for Mental Health.
Mental health is always a topical issue, and many people worldwide still struggle to manage their own mental health. In fact, the World Health Organisation estimates that 1 in 4 of us will experience a metal health disorder in our lifetime.
The latest edition of Ignite covers strategies to improve your mental health, how to identify mental health issues, and how to help others who you are concerned about, with a particular focus on young people, in line with this year’s Mental Health Week theme.
