Lee Parkinson, also known as Mr. P, is joined by our incredibly inspirational and insightful guest, Ben West. Ben is a Mental Health campaigner, best-selling author & social media influencer, and one of the most engaging and inspiring young male voices in the UK today. Together, Lee and Ben discuss a range of big topics around the theme of mental health in teaching.

They begin by looking at the steps teachers can take to protect their own mental health and wellbeing, as well as the warning signs to be aware of and look out for.  

They then dive into the mental health of our pupils, including the impact of social media, the positive moves we can make to support them both in the classroom and working with parents, and the role the education system plays.
