4. Health Services Failing Teens
• 6 month waiting period for NHS
teen therapy
• Health Services not well sign-
posted and utilised
• Over 100,000 children denied
mental health treatment in the UK
in a single year
• Charities trying to fill the gap with
60,000+ counselling sessions a year
for teens with suicidal thoughts
We have a neglected community.
5. Social Networks Are Making Things Worse
No one knows
how I feel
• Share With Everyone, I Don’t Want To Share My Insecurities
• No Privacy, I Don’t Feel Safe Sharing
• Showing Off, Everyone Is Trying To Make Their Life Look Great
• Too Many Opinions, Not Enough Support
• Dark Places, Promoting Detrimental Practices
6. Family & Community Failing Teens
• Alienation, My parents are divorced and no one pays attention to me.
• Disenfranchised, I don’t have the tools to improve my own life
• Loneliness, I’m often in my room. My only window to the outside is via my phone.
• Help & Desperation, I wish I knew people who could help me take control of my life.
