Today I wanted to talk about a subject which is very close to my heart - that of mental health and especially with regards to teenagers. 

As a teenager in boarding school I really struggled with my mental health. 

I was suicidal and at the age of 14 one of my friends at boarding school committed suicide. 

It devastated me although I never dared shared my emotion with anyone. That was not allow in boarding school! 

So today I offer some reflections about mental health. 

- Why are our teenagers struggling so much mentally? 
- And what can we do as parents and adults to help? 
- What do psychiatrists like Christopher Palmer from Harvard Medical School say?

Please do share below any practices that you have implemented or use with your children? 

Warm regards, Piers
