Why is mental wellbeing important in children and young people?

Mental wellbeing in children and young people is just as important as physical wellbeing because wellbeing can impact relationships with their family and friends and how they interact with the world. It can allow children to think clearly, learn new skills and be socially active.

Good mental wellbeing can help them cope with whatever the world throws at them, allow them to value who they are and grow into well-rounded healthy (both mentally and physically) adults.
