Children’s mental health has long been overlooked, despite growing concerns and rising needs.

While academic achievement often takes centre stage in schools, the emotional well-being of students is just as critical to their development and future. Many young people face anxiety, depression, trauma, and other challenges—yet too often, they struggle in silence without the support they need.

That’s why I’m supporting Place2Be, the UK’s leading school-based mental health charity. They provide essential support to children, families, and school staff, helping to ensure that no child has to face mental health difficulties alone. Together, we can help shine a light on children’s mental health and make a lasting difference👊.
