Nuffield hospital Trust report;
Rates of hospital admission as a result of self-harm in children and young people (aged 10-24) are considerably higher for females than males. Between 2012/13 and 2019/20, the rate for females rose from 508 admissions per 100,000 population to 695 per 100,000 population – an increase of 37%. However, in males the rate has remained roughly constant, fluctuating around 200 admissions per 100,000 population over the same time period. This data does not take A&E attendances into account, so the true prevalence of self-harm could be much higher.

We understand that every child/young person have their own needs and worries. Our intervention is led by the child and focused on supporting them by listening and understanding about their wishes and feelings.
Every Child Wants to Be Heard, and so we worked with children in the community to create the 'Childs Voice' child - led programme which we are very excited about
Healthy Minds
A healthy mind will help children/young people thrive and build their social emotional and communication skills which will help them create more life opportunities and thrive.
Children Are Our Future
Every child is unique and our aim is to support and deliver a program that will help the child/young person to build resilience and look forward to a bright future.
