But the reality is, mental health has been with us for as long as we have existed it. Our youth course is available to anyone working with children between the ages of 8-18yrs old. But it is also available to those children over the age of 14 yrs of age. Approximately 10% of our children have a mental health issue, that's around 3 in every class.
