Backg ckground und t to t the project ct:
- 50% of children and young people with long term mental
health problems first experience problems before the age

- Teachers and primary healthcare professionals play a
pivotal role in problem recognition and early intervention for childhood mental health problems
Caring, safe and excellent
Backg ckground und t to t the projec
- ject c
cont.:
- Lack of specialised training in this area; research
indicates that teachers often feel unable to recognise mental health problems (e.g. differentiating between ‘normal’ and ‘clinical’ adolescent behaviour). Similarly GPs may struggle to recognise mental health disorders in children.
- PPEPCare is for professionals working with children
in primary care and education and aims to help them (a) more accurately detect anxiety and depression in children and young people, and (b) provide a framework in which to support these children and young people (as well as their families).
