The Teen Mental Health Epidemic
-
In Essex alone, around 22,500 children and young people need specialist help for mental health issues , with many more on list for critical support.
-
Mental health services are stretched like never before with dangerously high waiting lists!
-
The Underdog Crew is an independent charitable organisation, here to provide critical support when there seems nowhere else to turn.

A quarter to half of adult mental illness may be preventable if interventions are put in place during childhood and adolescence.
-
Access to services can be fragmented and difficult to understand for young people and their families.
