[Help] Child mental health

[brighton_dave]

sorry to read all that it's so difficult, the biggest problem I see is that those with complex mental health needs get so skilled at covering it up until they hit that tipping point

thank you though I will drop you a quick message tomorrow. it's good to know there are others going through this until I started this thread back in 2020 I was blissfully oblivious that an 8 year old boy could have such severe mental health issues to deal with.

Honestly, you are not alone. I'm always happy to help if I can.
This just proves if support isn't provided quick enough, things build up and spiral out of control.
I also think social media, too much phone time is a huge problem, particularly for vulnerable children. This includes verbal abuse outside of school, being convinced to send inappropriate photoa and being targeted by County lines etc. They target vulnerable children. Using parental controls, limiting probe time etc with a child witch ADHD is not easy.

This may not help you, but the segment from 02:24 is worth a listen.

The scandal of school bullying being swept under the carpet by heads, the human rights of bullies bizarrely to the fore. The parent who called in from Scotland spells out the same disgusting story, but with an alternative positive ending.
