Based on statistics, mental health issues start at a very young age and it is important to teach children and young adults how to deal with these issues, so if we introduce a coping mechanism from the start this could counteract the beginning of mental health problems.
50% of mental health problems are established by age 14 and 75% by age 24. 10% of children and young people (aged 5-16 years) have a clinically diagnosable mental problem3, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age.
