Monday 3rd February 2020 see the start of “Children’s Mental Health Week.”
Ensure Safety and Training are proud to support Visyon, a charity that supports local children and young people with their mental health; providing a safe place for children, young people and their families when they need help.
Whether confused, upset, worried, or feeling hurt or angry about something, somebody at Visyon will listen and help the children and young people to decide what they want to do next.
In a typical class of thirty 15 year olds:
- 3 have a diagnosable mental illness
- 10 have witnessed their parents separate
- 1 has experienced the death of a parent
- 7 have been bullied
- 6 are self-harming
75% of all adult mental health issues start before the age of 18.
Research shows that when parents and family get involved in their child’s wellbeing, children will do better.
- It costs Visyon £45 to provide a 1 hour face to face meeting with a young person.
- Last year Visyon’s Education Team had 98% coverage across schools in Cheshire East offering training for teachers to better support young people with their mental health.
- Last year Visyon offered over 550 mentoring sessions to young people.
- Last year Visyon offered over 5000 one-to-one therapy sessions to young people.
