SCHOOLS must do more to help pupils with their mental health, campaigners say, after surveying education leaders and youngsters.
Schools should have regular talks on mental health and increase training and resources for schools, Oxford Mental Health Forum said.
More printed material is needed for pupils and counselling should be available throughout the county, it added.
The forum’s online survey received responses from 15 schools, 300 youngsters aged 16 to 25, 44 professionals and 21 parents or carers.
