Youth Depression

A Mission Australia media release reports:

A national survey of around 11,300 young people, aged 11-24 (94% between 11-19), has found that ‘suicide/self harm’, ‘physical/sexual abuse’ and ‘family conflict’ are issues of growing concern……

Two in five young participants were significantly concerned about suicide, and one in three about depression.

1 in 3! Astounding.
