Episode 97: Mental Health Support in Schools

It’s a double-header on this week’s Mental Health Monday as we dive into the subject of mental health support within schools.

In part one, you’ll be hearing from Rachel Ward & Lesley Stopforth from Action For Children about 'The Blues Programme', an initiative aimed at helping teenagers who show early signs of mental health issues.

(This is an extended version of the interview originally broadcast on Liverpool Live.)

And in part two, an interview with Liverpool City Councillor Barry Kushner and mental health promotion worker Tony Neiman from Liverpool CAMHS to discuss the establishment of mental health support specialists within Liverpool schools.

Follow @MrMickCoyle, @ActionForChildren, @BazKush, & @LivCAMHSFYI.
