We are so pleased that Theresa May is talking about the importance and prevention of mental health problems. We have for a long time been stressing that prevention needs to start with children. CBT in schools needs to be delivered to teach every child how to manage their emotions.

It is a tragic fact that one in ten children in this country has a diagnosable mental health condition.

It is sad to hear that NHS mental health services are failing young people.

Jeremy Hunt states that 'CAMHS services are the NHS's greatest area of weakness'.

The NHS found one in four young women have a mental problem, and these are just the reported cases, the real number will be higher. With a overwhelmed mental health system we need to work on PREVENTION. We teach our children sport, maths, reading, languages- we need to teach them techniques for managing emotions. Oxford University found CBT in schools prevented mental health problems in a longitudinal study.

Increasing numbers of young women have mental health problems. We ask the experts for ways to ensure our daughters are best prepared to cope

We really believe that too often the physical and the psychological are treated as seperate. Psychological issues such as anxiety cause a very real impact physically on the body, and living with a physical condition impacts the psychology. More and more guidelines are recognising that conditions such as MS, cancer, diabetes etc can be helped with CBT.

Children with MS or other demyelinating conditions experience psychiatric disorders more often than other children, a new study has claimed.
