For a significant and growing number of children and adolescents, mental health problems result in adverse immediate and longer-term effects on emotion regulation and academic learning. In 2001, the World Health Organization predicted that childhood and adolescent mental health problems would become one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and disability worldwide by 2020.
