Caution: This episode of The Educators is certainly inspiring – but it contains references to self-harm and suicidal thoughts from the outset. So if that sounds like it might be difficult for you to listen to please check out one of the other episodes in our series.

In this episode we hear from award-winning mental health campaigner and founder of My Mind Matters Too, Meg Zeenat Waminthi, who discusses the importance of supporting young people, shares why it’s crucial to recognise young people struggling with their mental health and ask the important question: “Are you okay?”.
