Our 27th interview in the 100 women series is with Dr. Pooky Knightsmith, whose work is focused on mental health in schools and supporting children's mental health.

In this podcast, you can listen to Teacher Toolkit founder Ross McGill and Dr. Pooky Knightsmith discuss "What 'mental health' advice would we give to others?" Hear more about the need to 'not' make education policies London focused, explore Pooky's childhood and how that shaped her career path and discuss the passion necessary to undertake a PhD.

We also reinforce the importance of self-care within the teaching professions and share Pooky's top-tips for young girls in education - to help understand that each autistic child has individual needs. Finally, we talk about the beauty of Slovenia and ask 'why Pooky would live to have a conversation with Margaret Thatcher (I know - do not log off!)
