The NSPCC received more than 30,000 calls from children about their mental health.
More must be done to support children’s mental health in schools, a charity has said after it emerged that mental and emotional wellbeing was the top reason for children seeking help from Childline last year. Childline delivered 105,000 counselling sessions in 2022/23 where the child’s main concern was mental and emotional health and wellbeing. The NSPCC, which runs the service, said 31,000 of the counselling sessions on mental health were about stress and anxiety.
It also called on adults to do more to support children’s wellbeing by helping them feel supported and reassured and “not judged”. Shaun Friel, director of Childline, said: “Young people may struggle with a range of mental health issues throughout their childhood and adolescence. This can be a time of turbulence, and so it’s important that children feel supported and uplifted.
