“Children should be able to participate in the development of policies shaping their future” : MFWS report : recommends the creation of a national mental health policy

Abstract

A recently published report by the Malta Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society and the University of Malta has called for children to be given greater participation in the design and implementation of policies that would affect their present and future, as well as calling for the creation of mental health policy. The report was presented in a conference in parliament, on the launch of a Child Wellbeing Index that would measure children’s wellbeing.
