Good Mental Health Matters
Everyone talks about their physical health, which is important. however, we want to talk about Mental Health... which is just as important!
Good mental health really matters for young people in Kent Scouts. Many people are talking about the rising need for mental health support with many issues widely understood to have their roots in childhood. Around 75% of serious adult mental illness is caused by sustained anxiety, and 50% of such problems take root before the age of fourteen. Kent Scouts alongside the NHS and the Drummer Agency have worked together to create this AWESOME resource to make the members of Kent Scouts more aware of their own Mental Health and to help them to support themselves in looking after their Mental Health.
