Floods are the most common type of natural disaster, with 1.81 billion people facing significant flood risk worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Among those affected, children and young people are especially vulnerable due to limited coping strategies compared to adults and high dependence on caregivers. Despite this, research on the impacts of floods on their mental health remains scarce.

Breaking the Silence: A different way to work alongside young people in practice and research

How are children and young people getting on in the UK? Studies suggest that the school system is a significant negative factor in the lives of many of our CYP. Whilst some enjoy school, many others experience it as psychologically harmful and this is reported, consistently, by young people and families.

Psychotherapies seem to be especially effective in low- and middle-income countries
Association for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Blog

Youth psychotherapies appear to be about twice as effective in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared to high-income countries.

Therefore, there is great need for more research on psychotherapies for youth in LMICs and for funding directed to LMIC-based investigators, clinicians, and organizations. We do not know why psychotherapies appear mo ..read more
