ALMOST £400,000 has earmarked to be spent on building ‘emotional resilience’ in young people to fight mental health problems.
The Central Area Council - which covers the Kingstone, Stairfoot, Worsbrough, Dodworth and Central wards - has agreed to pay £130,000-a-year for a three-year service for eight to 19-year-olds.
Councillors were told half of all cases of mental illness begin by the age of 14 and the Central Area Council is hoping to stave this off by catching young people early.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
