We ' ve only just begun: action to improve young people ’s mental health, education and employment

Resolution Foundation - This publication – the final report of a three-year research programme funded by the Health Foundation – explores the relationship between young people’s mental health and work outcomes, and how policy-makers should respond. It finds that young people are now more likely to experience a common mental disorder (CMD) than any other age group – a complete reversal compared with two decades ago, when they were least likely to. Also, the economic consequences are greatest for those whose poor mental health outcomes combine with poor educational outcomes, with 1 in 3 young non-graduates with a CMD currently workless.ReportPress release
