Experts highlight a growing mental health crisis among children in England, with rising rates of disorders linked to various societal pressures. They debate whether the crisis signifies a lack of resilience in youth or a response to increased awareness of mental health issues. School nurse Jane Graham and leading psychiatrists advocate for improved resilience training to help youngsters cope with challenges, while critics caution against oversimplifying mental health complexities. There’s a call for more holistic support systems that cater to emotional and social needs, rather than relying solely on medication.
