A recent study found that 93% of 12-15-year-olds in the UK own a mobile phone (Ofcom, 2021). And whilst there are many benefits, including enhancing teaching and learning experiences, the frequent usage of digital platforms is often linked to increased anxiety, stress, body image concerns, depression, and other mental health conditions. During a time of accelerated digitisation, the youth mental health crisis continues to impact schools. In response, there has been an increase in the creation of innovative digital solutions, to empower young people to explore their own emotional health and wellbeing needs, whilst ensuring they receive timely, targeted, interventions and support. Join this informative panel discussion, led by Nicola Harvey, to discover how practical digital solutions are changing the narrative and supporting mental health in education.
