Episode 41: Children's Mental Health

On Mental Health Monday this week, Mick Coyle looked at the latest report on children's mental health services and longer waiting times for children wanting to see a mental health specialist.

It was discussed on our weekly Panel with teacher Mike Hussey, Peter Oliver who works with young scouts and podcaster Steph Heneghan. Plus, Wavertree MP Luciana Berger gave her views on the recent findings.

Mick also spoke to local dad John Myers from Huyton, whose son took his own life and after his death was found to have a gambling addiction.

Also this week, Connor Phillips spoke to John Barry from Male Psychology UK about a new 'masculinity report' which claims that mental health is the biggest priority for young males.

All discussed on Mental Health Monday.
