‘One thing that continues to be highlighted in all my work is the growing mental health crisis.
‘The work Mind does to raise awareness and smash mental health stigmas has never been more important and I know how prevalent the crisis of mental health challenges is across the education landscape.
‘Whether it’s teacher workload, social media challenges in children or parents mental health struggles due to the cost of living crisis – it’s clear to see people need help more than ever!
