| Health Challenge 4: |
|
Young Londoners' emotional health and wellbeing Partner organisations will ensure that their staff are aware of and are able to respond to the emotional health and wellbeing needs of London's children and young people, and will encourage other organisations within their sphere of influence to do likewise. Through its Children and Young People's Forum, the Commission has established a project that is leading the development of framework to promote young Londoners' emotional health and wellbeing. A key aspect of the framework will be a training support package with materials for staff working with, and providing services for, children and young people. The Challenge will draw from the findings of the London Health Commission's 2005 Health in London Report which highlighted that rates of mental disorder among 5 - 15 year olds were higher in inner London than other areas of the UK, and particularly for boys aged 11-15. Issues relating to 'positive emotional wellbeing' were highlighted in the Mayor's Children and Young People's Strategy. Commission partners will ensure that their staff receive the training and support package and use their influence to secure wider sign-up. Government Office for London, the King's Fund, London's Strategic Health Authorities the Metropolitan Police Authority and the London Development Centre for Mental Health will champion this challenge, The Children and Young People's forum will develop the framework and support the challenge.
