A new initiative to help support children’s mental health is being launched, which will see school pupils complete mental health “check-ins”. The Government-backed platform from Govox Wellbeing, developed in conjunction with NHSX and King’s College London, is being delivered with the support of suicide prevention charity Papyrus, the Mental Health Foundation and local Mind organisations. The programme, which offers £5 million worth of support, will be offered for free to the first 1,000 secondary schools.
