To mark this year’s World Mental Health Day, we have prepared a factsheet based on data from our publication Voices of Children & Young People Around the World: Global Child Helpline Data from 2021.
Mental health concerns remain a major reason for children and young people to contact child helplines. About 1 in every 3 contacts made by a child or a young person is about their mental health. We have extrapolated information from our annual data analysis focusing on contacts with child helplines relating to these concerns.
This one-page factsheet is designed for on-screen presentation, or it can be printed and displayed as an educational poster.
