Over the last 2 years the world has woken up to something that we in the world of children and young people's mental health have known for a very long time - the best correlate of adult life satisfaction is not income but physical and mental health, and we can predict adult life satisfaction best, not from academic qualifications but from the emotional health of 16-year olds (Clark, Fleche, Layard, Powdthavee, & Ward, 2016). The overwhelming burden of disease associated with mental ill health suggests that early intervention focused on child mental health is probably the most effective social investment any government could make both from economic and ethical perspectives. We are now at the moment of national insight - so how will we translate this into real goals and action, and drive our own effective strategies?
在过去两年里，全世界都开始意识到一件我们儿童和青少年心理健康领域早就知道的事情——成年后生活满意度的最佳相关因素不是收入，而是身心健康；而且，预测成年后生活满意度的最佳指标不是学历，而是16岁青少年的情绪健康（克拉克、弗莱舍、莱亚德、波德哈维、沃德，2016年）。与精神疾病相关的巨大疾病负担表明，从经济和伦理角度来看，专注于儿童心理健康的早期干预可能是任何政府都能做出的最有效的社会投资。我们现在正处于全国性洞察的时刻——那么，我们将如何把这转化为实际目标和行动，并推动我们自己的有效策略呢？
