How confident are you, that we can improve children's MH? G. Harold "Very confident. ...the current model of mental ill health investment is a crisis/late intervention one. We have the knowledge to move to prevention based model, in terms of wicked problems that's the wicked solution." #BennettInst

Prof Harold "The starting place is recognising that mental health & mental ill health are not the same. Mental ill health is the leading cause of disability in UK... A fundamental area of intervention is disciplinary silos, the wicked problem is failing to address that challenge." #BennettInst
