Mind Cymru focuses new campaign on young people’s mental health

Mind Cymru has launched a new drive to highlight the increasing mental health needs of young people in Wales, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.

Figures show a marked increase in the prevalence of “anxiety” as a presenting issue for counselling in Welsh secondary schools – from 12% in 2015/2016 to 46% in 2022/23.

Monday (May 13) marks the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Week.
