Creating a culture where we all do more to look after our mental wellbeing CONTEXT Mental health declined to an all-time low in 2020 but numbers haven’t improved post- pandemic. In fact, one in five children and young people in England aged eight to 25 1 had a probable mental disorder in 2023 . The NHS advises we all look after our mental wellbeing, just as we look after physical health, so ITV used our platform and scale to encourage children and young people to proactively care for their mental wellbeing. We also looked closer to home to create more conversations across the media industry about how we represent mental health on screen and support participants and colleagues.
