This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, we have a message for parents: There is nothing more difficult than seeing your child struggle. But every day you keep going and doing your best, often on your own and without recognition. You should be so proud of yourself.
If you're looking for a relaxing night in with your furry friends away from the fireworks, be sure to join @CharlotteHawkns on @ClassicFM's #PetClassics tonight from 6pm on @GlobalPlayer: https://t.co/s4fraspFUi 🐶🐱🐹🐰

The government is right to boost mental health support in schools and communities with this funding but only about a third of children will receive support this way by April 2023.
