A really interesting read!
For me, these new findings are exceptionally useful for suggesting we should stop universal MH interventions in schools, and focus on one-to-one, targeted and directed interventions instead. @jackandrews.bsky.social and I argue this is more detail below

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

A struggling child is excluded, sent miles away to a Pupil Referral Unit, and placed among other struggling peers.
Reintegration is rare.
The system isn’t fixing the problem – it’s isolating it. Change is overdue.

Reflecting on a conversation with a parent who felt ashamed I'd be doing a home visit when the family live in 2 rooms. Something about telling her I grew up in a similar situation helped to level us. This is why we need to widen entry to psychological professions.
