Primary schoolchildren say they worry ‘all the time’

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

63% of primary schoolchildren say they worry "all the time" according to a new survey published today by children's mental health charity, Place2Be. We hear from Sarah Kendrick, Head of Service at Place2Be and from Lucy Alexander, whose 17-year-old son, Felix, took his own life following years of bullying. Lucy says, “cruelty is the norm” these days. So what can be done to promote mental health awareness in schools?
