I have spent the last year or so working for free with schools to support change and positive impact, especially when it comes to wellbeing and mental health. Things are slowly changing.

Heads Together, for example, is the campaign coordinated by the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. With eight charities and three major funders they have supported a collective conversation to help model positive acceptance, communication and actions (www.headstogether.org.uk).
