quite literally in the formative and most productive years of life, who evidently see suicide as a way out or a solution of some sort to some problem or burden they are carrying.<\/p>\n<p>And alarmingly, suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among people aged between 15-29 years, pointing to a widespread mental health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, despite the recognition of good health as a fundamental human right that should be universally accessible \u2013 <em>mental<\/em> health is often neglected, owing in part to the stigma surrounding it.<\/p>\n<p>The costs and consequences of such neglects are dire, and often terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Globally, <strong>1 in 7 people aged 10 -19 years<\/strong> are estimated to experience a mental health disorder at some point in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Half of all mental health conditions begin before the age of 14, with <strong>75% emerging by age 25<\/strong> \u2013 and yet, in many cases remain undetected and untreated. This already staggering number is rising further \u2013 adversely affecting the ability of an increasing number of children and adults to learn, to work, to socialize, and fully enjoy normal lives.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, as is so often the case, the mental health crisis is exceptionally acute for children in conflicts and humanitarian emergencies. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF estimates that almost all children in <strong>Gaza<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>more than 1 million<\/strong> \u2013 require mental health assistance and psychosocial support. This is an increase from the <strong>estimated 500,000 children<\/strong> that were already in need prior to the current conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, an <strong>estimated 1.5 million children in Ukraine<\/strong> are at risk of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues due to the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, children across <strong>Sudan and Haiti<\/strong> are enduring shocking levels of deprivation of food, tragedy, and trauma, suffering in silence \u2013 unable to access the daily nutrition and other care they so desperately need to survive. The long-term effect of such experiences on their psyche are unimaginable.<\/p>\n<p>Tackling mental health should not only be approached as a health issue. Promoting good mental health is also inextricably linked with respect for human rights and sustainable development. And we must collectively work across sectors to address the underlying determinants of health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alarmingly, more than 80% of all people with mental disorders live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)<\/strong> \u2013 where a vicious cycle between mental health and poverty is prevalent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Averaging a mere <strong>2.1% of government health expenditure<\/strong>, the global financing for mental health is already woefully low. But in developing countries it is at \u2013 this is a real shock &#8211; it is at, literally <strong>US$0.08 per capita<\/strong>. Per person. 8 cents! for all practical purposes therefore it is non-existent.<\/p>\n<p>International development assistance for mental health is also scarce \u2013 with development assistance for children and adolescents being even more meagre.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the foregoing, we must do much better to meet the commitments we all agreed to in the political declaration last September at the high-level meeting on Universal Health Coverage, adopted through GA Resolution 78\/4.<\/p>\n<p>We must scale up our efforts to promote and improve mental health and well-being, as an essential part of universal health coverage \u2013 including by closing the mental health treatment gap, which is estimated to be <strong>as high as 90%<\/strong> in some settings.<\/p>\n<p>Member States need to invest further in strengthening national health systems, multisectoral promotion and prevention, and community-based mental health programmes and services.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, they should leverage digital technologies to strengthen the capacities of the mental health and psychological support (MHPSS) workforce, with particular reference to the education sector.<\/p>\n<p>We must also take deliberate action to uphold and protect the human rights of people living with mental health conditions and to eliminate the stigma and discrimination that they often endure.<\/p>\n<p>We must bear in mind the gender differences in mental health needs. This means being alert to women\u2019s specific challenges like perinatal mental health, and their vulnerability to sexual and gender-based violence.<\/p>\n<p>And we must also ensure that children and young people are meaningfully involved when crafting mental health programs to respond to their needs.<\/p>\n<p>As we continue to engage on this issue, we must rely on the valuable guidance and support of the World Health Organization and of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF.<\/p>\n<p>Further, we will continue to rely on the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Youth Office in promoting youth engagement to advocate for these goals.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to hearing from the eminent experts in the field such as <strong>Andrew Solomon<\/strong> and <strong>Devorah Kestel<\/strong> \u2013 and to a comprehensive discussion from all participants.<\/p>\n<p>And I hope that the following discussion will give impetus to the implementation of the General Assembly\u2019s first ever resolution on mental health and psychosocial support adopted last year.<\/p>\n<p>Further, I hope it will also serve as useful food for thought in the lead up to the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ High-level Meeting on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>And broadly, I hope it will help advance important conversations and efforts relating to the mental health issues and well-being of children and young people.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you all a very successful event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I thank you. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* *** *<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"g4Y3U\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"T_6Xj\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Remarks by the President of the General Assembly,Mr. Dennis Francis, at the Event on Mental Health of Children and Young People: How Can We Do Better?
