Arguably even more of an issue during Covid restrictions, this podcast explores the subject of young people’s mental health and well-being. Julia Goldsmith of Catcher Media speaks to Sallyann Sutton (Walsall NHS Healthcare) about how young people, schools and health-workers have been facing the challenges to well-being. Topics include:
Sallyann Sutton is the Professional Lead for School Nursing at Walsall NHS Healthcare. She has worked in School Nursing for 28 years and is passionate about child and family mental health. This is her lead area of work and she has worked in a variety of roles, on projects and work streams which promote emotional health and wellbeing. This work has focused on helping children and young people to understand more about mental health, how to look after their mental health and get access to support, helping to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.
Notes to Self, which is mentioned in the interview, is a film and supporting resources which seek to challenge the myths and misinformation that surround mental health and well-being. It aims to equip young people with strategies to help keep themselves emotionally healthy, to guide them on seeking help and supporting others, and to encourage them to challenge stigma around mental health issues.
The film can be watched here free of charge to Walsall schools & health-workers, with a small charge for the rest of the UK.
