Body Image and Mental Health

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Griffiths (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 July 2019. It occurred during Debate on Body Image and Mental Health.

The hon. Lady is raising some very important points, and I think we all recognise that young people are under more stress and pressure than ever before, particularly through social media. Does she agree that schools have a key role to play in trying to provide support for young people? I am sure that, like me, she welcomes the new Trailblazer programme that the Government have offered, but does she agree that if we can ensure that young people feel able to ask for support and help in the classroom—in the school environment—we will have a better opportunity to tackle these issues at the very start and help those young people before the problem gets worse?
