Research suggests that 7% of UK children have attempted suicide before the age of 17 with experts suggesting that the figure will rise
(The Guardian)
Nuffield hospital Trust report;
Rates of hospital admission as a result of self-harm in children and young people (aged 10-24) are considerably higher for females than males. Between 2012/13 and 2019/20, the rate for females rose from 508 admissions per 100,000 population to 695 per 100,000 population – an increase of 37%. However, in males the rate has remained roughly constant, fluctuating around 200 admissions per 100,000 population over the same time period. This data does not take A&E attendances into account, so the true prevalence of self-harm could be much higher.
If the meaning in life for these children is lost,
The Life Matters is dedicated to helping them find it.
We help them look forward to a brighter future, offering support, encouragement and advice when needed so that they are able to write tomorrows story, when they are unable to write todays.
