Children's Mental Health: "More and More Serious Cases Each Year"

The article reports on concerns raised by the Human Rights Agency regarding the mental health of children and adolescents in Slovenia. It highlights a lack of pediatric psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, long waiting times, and incomplete network of centers for youth mental health. The agency visited a counseling center in Ljubljana and emphasized the importance of early recognition of stress, accessible support in schools, and collaboration between healthcare, education, and social services. They also called for preventive measures and inclusive education that goes beyond physical presence in school, advocating for tailored support based on individual needs. Despite some progress with new legislation requiring schools to provide support upon identifying learning difficulties, challenges remain, including insufficient standards, documentation, and monitoring of interventions.

Young people, too, if they're lucky, will one day be old.

Amnesty International runs a campaign called 'Age Loud' to examine the treatment of older people globally, including in Slovenia. The campaign highlights issues such as lack of access to healthcare, which is seen as a violation of the right to health. In Slovenia, the system is reportedly inaccessible for many elderly individuals. The campaign began in mid-2024 with the premise that human rights should apply throughout life, including old age. Researchers are investigating how the rights of older people are often overlooked and how they resist these challenges.
