The findings of UNICEF’s Report Card 19 paint a devastating picture of a country failing its youngest, the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) says.
Titled Fragile Gains – Child Wellbeing at Risk in an Unpredictable World, it ranks New Zealand last out of 36 OECD and EU countries for child and youth mental health.
NZAC President Sarah Maindonald says this isn’t a first; Unicef’s Report Card 16 also ranked New Zealand’s youth suicide rate as the second worst in the world.
