According to various long-term studies, around 20 percent of children and young people in Germany develop a mental disorder within a year. During the corona pandemic, the proportion rose once more. But what does age-appropriate development actually look like? Where is the boundary between individual peculiarities and problems that need to be treated? And when should you get outside help? The new LVR guide “Mental health in school children” offers parents and relatives valuable information and initial orientation.
It is particularly important to the LVR clinic network to treat the youngest patients in a way that is close to the word and according to modern standards. At numerous locations in the Rhineland, the LVR offers help for mentally ill children and their parents: in outpatient clinics and advice centers, day clinics and clinic departments specially designed for children. With its new guide, the clinic network of the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR) is expanding these offers with practical assistance.
In its series on mental health, the LVR Clinic Association has already published three guides. Following the topics of dementia, depression and the mental health of young children, the new brochure on the mental health of children of primary school age has now been published. The guide is available in both printed and digital form at the following link: LVR guide: “Mental health in school children” .
