Connect's survey on Children and Young People’s Mental Health and the School Community
Connect knows how concerned parents and carers are about children and young people’s mental health: research suggests more and more children and young people are experiencing anxiety, depression and mental health issues.
They’re particularly interested in how school communities work together to develop positive mental health for everyone because when someone struggles with their mental health, this impacts on the whole family. So Connect are asking parents and carers for their views and experiences to help them understand about the right kinds of support, involvement and information for families in their school communities.
This survey will close on Monday 2 December 2019.
