Support Little Lives UK

Across the UK, thousands of children are struggling silently with their mental health. Many are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelming emotional distress—and the heartbreaking truth is that they are not getting the help they need. The waiting lists are long, the resources are limited, and the support often arrives too late.

One in five children in the UK are now estimated to have a probable mental health disorder (NHS Digital, 2023). Yet, nearly half of those referred to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) wait more than 12 weeks to be seen—and some are turned away without any treatment.
