A survey has found that Coronavirus is having a huge impact on young people with existing mental health conditions. The loss of routine, school closures and exam cancellations are all factors; as well as health concerns.

If you need help please speak up!

'Extreme pressure to achieve at school and be liked online are the biggest threats to schoolchildren's mental health, research has found'

The pressure to gain excellent grades at school and to be well liked on social media is having a massive impact!
