We all know that there has been a lot of media spotlight on the mental health of the nation recently, including that of our most precious resource, our children. Whilst the issues have always been there, it is surprising to most of us to hear that today 1 in 5 children are now considered to have some form of psychological problem, and 1 in 10 have a mental health problem. However, like many physical problems in life, poor mental health prevention is as important as the cure. Play Therapy can help many children cope with, or develop new resilience to deal with, their own personal challenges or traumas in their lives.

According to Play Therapy UK, play therapy is effective for between 74% and 83% of children, when delivered to PTUK standards. See the latest research at PlayTherapy.org.uk
