Issues of mental health have been very much in discussion recently. King’s College in London even had an exhibition running from September 2019 – January 2020 entitled: On Edge: living in an age of anxiety.

One of the disturbing statistics is that 10% of young people between the ages of 5 – 16 years suffer from an identifiable mental illness and 70% have not had any early and appropriate intervention. The chances are that, once the present situation in our nation subsides, many young people will be suffering from the effects of isolation and loneliness.
