With the nations young people back at school for a new year, join me for part one of the ‘Student Mental Health’ miniseries I’m hosting on Mental Podcast.

This week we’re focusing on schools with educator Emma Burdett who, through theatre and interactive workshops, teaches young people about mental health. We also discuss in depth what support is needed, plus the progress so far with this petition and the Department of Education.

Next week’s episode will cover student mental health with special guest Jenny Pewsey. Whilst the episode focuses on statistics and our personal stories at University Level, we discuss how struggling with mental illness at this stage of life would be less common if we received prior education about it.

You can catch both episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or online with Stitcher.

As always keep sharing as we’re almost at the 100,000 signatures needed to have the petition debated in Parliament and push this cause even further.

Many thanks, Bobby Temps
