GCSE Results Day can be a significant moment for young people as they prepare to take their next step - whether that’s a move to sixth form or college, or a change in direction.

Last Monday (8th June) was National Best Friend Day, so in today’s podcast clip from April 2023, Dr Tanya Manchanda discusses the importance of friendships for the mental health outcomes of adolescents.

In this clip, Dr Manchanda explains that friendships are key to adolescents’ development and discusses how schools can help foster meaningful connections.

In the full interview, Dr Manchanda explores the evidence behind friendship interventions and discuss how parents and educators can support young people to build and maintain positive friendships.
