Yet again, another warning, another report, about the state of our children, youth, and students’ mental health,  tragically reaching crisis point. Teachers across Britain are, again and again, telling the nation about the epedemic rise in levels of  anxiety, self-harm and suicide amongst their pupils.

The pertinent question, however, must surely be: Is anybody listening? Is anybody taking notice?

When I look all around me, I am heartbroken that our elected representatives have, in the last three years and more, so spectacularly failed us all, the children, youth, students, pupils, senior citizens, disabled, vulnerable, the environment, ecology, NHS,..., you name it.
