Minister for Children and Families, Connétable Richard Vibert said: “Many of us experience mental health challenges at some point in our lives.
“We know these difficulties often begin early, and they can shape the way a child grows, learns, and moves into adulthood.”
He said the strategy included early support, crisis care and rehabilitation and recovery help and is designed for people “from early childhood right through to later life”.
It comes as adult mental health services in Jersey saw new referrals rise 57% between 2023 and 2025, with 5,733 new cases last year.
There were 906 new referrals to the child and adolescent mental health unit last year, and a total a caseload of 1,885 – more than three times the number in 2018.
The government said most mental health disorders develop early in life, with half of the conditions beginning by age 14 and 75% presenting by age 24.
