“Having pre-existing anxiety I feel that there is a lack of support or sympathy. The school is focussed on results and returning to normal, but have not taken into account the mindset of their students that have been isolated for so long," says one of our Activists.
The Government must provide schools with a ring-fenced Resilience fund immediately, to ensure schools could commission the mental health and wellbeing support that young people need.
