Seeing a counsellor gives a young person a space where they can 鈥済row and learn about who you are and who you want to be鈥�.
That鈥檚 the powerful message from our member Leanne Barrow, who highlights the benefits of school counselling in a video recorded for Children鈥檚 Mental Health Week.
The week runs from 7 to 13 February 2022 and this year's theme is Growing Together.
In her video, 聽Leanne, who is a counsellor in Scotland, also talks about how she鈥檇 have benefited from school counselling, and how it鈥檚 important for children and young people to have a space where they鈥檙e accepted and not judged.
