On #WorldMentalHealthDay we are exploring data on

▪️ children's mental health
▪️ the impact of #COVID restrictions
▪️ mental health and school

Read our thread ⬇️
A report by @NHSDigital found over a quarter of 11 to 16 year-olds with a probable mental disorder in 2021 said #COVID19 restrictions had made their lives much worse compared with 1 in 10 unlikely to have a mental disorder #WorldMentalHealthDay ow.ly/Wf6750GoXw9 More than a quarter of children aged 11 to 16 with a probabl
Data from @NHSdigital show the number of young people aged 0 to 18 referred to mental health services between April and June 2021 increased by 93% from the same period in 2020, and 41% on 2019 in England #WorldMentalHealthDay ow.ly/VJQa50GoXxm Referrals to mental health services increased 93%, young peo
The number of providers that submit data to the Mental Health Services dataset has increased in recent years:

⬆️ 227 in April to June 2019
⬆️️295 in April to June 2020
⬆️ 333 in April to June 2021.

This has likely had some effect on the increase in referrals
Children aged 11 to 16 years with a probable mental disorder were twice as likely to have missed more than 15 days of school in the autumn term of 2020 (23.5%) as those unlikely to have a mental disorder (11.7%) #WorldMentalHealthDay ow.ly/pV7r50GoXya Children aged 11 to 16 years with a probably mental disorder
According to our Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (8-19 Sept 21), 35% of parents who worried about their children returning to school or college in the autumn term were worried about the potential effect on their children’s mental health #WorldMentalHealthDay ow.ly/pbVY50GoXyG
Our next Public Policy Analysis Forum on 13 October focuses on mental health and well-being in children.
