"Mental health problems rife among teenagers but teachers lack skills to help" says Guardian
Training for school staff in South Staffordshire that provides skills on helping teenagers' mental health
"MPs were warned that schools had only a “patchy” ability to pick up and prevent mental health problems in pupils." -
