" The government has announced \u00A332 million in funding for psychological therapies for children and young people with mental health problems. Care services minister Paul Burstow said that the investment is &amp;#039;breaking new ground&amp;#039; and that the government wants to change the way mental health care is delivered by the NHS. &amp;#039;Half of those with mental health problems first experience symptoms by the age of 14, and three-quarters before their mid-20s,&amp;#039; he revealed. &amp;#039;This pioneering work will focus on early and effective treatment.&amp;#039; The news was welcomed by Dr Andrew McCullough, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation. He said that talking therapies must be carried out by experienced psychologists who are qualified to work with children, under the appropriate supervision. &amp;#039;Also, we must not forget that a child&amp;#039;s early years are crucially important in terms of developing good mental wellbeing and emotional resilience and we must invest in improved health visitor support and parenting skills in the first months and years of a child&amp;#039;s life,&amp;#039; he added.
