Mental Health

The Centre for Young Lives has published a blog about its research with Agenda Alliance on the mental health of young women and girls in the UK. The research included an evidence review, a roundtable discussion, and interviews with stakeholders from the women and girls’ sector, youth and mental health sectors. The report discusses the prevalence of mental health problems among girls and young women; their experiences with mental health services; and the role of philanthropy in bridging gaps in mental health support. It sets out ten recommendations to illustrate how philanthropy can deliver change for girls and young women’s mental health and help to strengthen the sector.
