Fantastic to see our @CosmoStudy data used in today's big report from @resfoundation . There are worrying geographical inequalities in access to mental health support for today's #YoungPeople , notably specialist services like CAMHS.
NEW: those aged 40+ used to be most likely to suffer from mental ill health - but today 1-in-8 people in their late 20s/early 30s do. The economic consequences are large, changing the pattern of who is out of the labour market due to ill health resolutionfoundation.org/pub…

Thank you @suttontrust for your support. Your data from the @CosmoStudy has been invaluable to the inquiry and really eye-opening.
We welcome today's report @APPGYCandYAC on young carers, outlining the unique set of challenges facing young people with caring responsibilities.
Data from @CosmoStudy recently showed this group of young people are more much likely to experience food poverty and psychological distress than their peers.

"Over 2 in 5 young people were classified as experiencing high psychological distress, with significant numbers saying they have not received support... There is no indication [of] improvement since wave 1 indicating a significant ongoing problem for this generation."

Four in 10 pupils in Year 13 in the most deprived areas of England are struggling to get the mental health support they need, according to the latest findings of the @CosmoStudy led by Dr @jakeanders @CEPEO_UCL @CLScohorts @IOE_London with @suttontrust ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/nov/four…
ALT Quote from Dr Jake Anders, Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the UCL Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities (CEPEO), and COSMO’s Principal Investigator, who says: "If more young people living in worse-off areas are not receiving the support that they need, this will widen existing gaps in life chances.”
