With children having to deal with the impacts of the climate crisis and the global pandemic, on top of relationship and bullying issues in the age of social media, policymakers are increasingly concerned about mental health in our younger generations.
For this RSA Webinar, educational psychologist Dr Marilyn Campbell from the Queensland University of Technology will discuss the mental health challenges facing schoolchildren today.
She will provide an update on how governments are responding to the challenges and share her views on how Australia can do better at supporting children in schools, including through changes to the National School Chaplaincy Program.
Dr Campbell is also media spokesperson for Australian Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools.
