The UK education and health secretaries announced a plan to expand mental health support in schools to reach nearly 1 million additional children in England. This initiative aims to help students develop grit and resilience to manage life's challenges. Support will include early access to qualified professionals, group sessions to address anxiety, and one-on-one assistance for children not meeting NHS referral criteria. The program seeks to improve mental health, reduce school absenteeism, and ultimately enhance future income opportunities for students who are facing modern challenges linked to a digital upbringing.
It's about having the grit, the resilience, the ability to cope with life's ups and downs, about the challenges that are thrown at you.
By deploying NHS-led, evidence-based intervention during children's formative years, we will not only halt the spiral towards crisis but cultivate much-needed grit.
