NEW: Families are being left with next to nothing to live on after paying rent – £3 a week in the worst cases – because of the benefit cap.

The cap is one of the harshest hangovers from austerity, punishing families for their unavoidable costs & leaving them with next to nothing to live on.

Nearly two children in every classroom in England have asked for mental health support.

For many, mental health issues begin in childhood.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, it's important to understand how vital early support is to tackle problems before they become overwhelming.
Blue background, white box with text in black reading: 'Every child deserves to be heard before they reach crisis point.  Early support hubs and drop in centres are lifelines for teenagers - safe spaces where they can talk to a trusted professional and get help quickly before problems become overwhelming.' Small font underneath reading #WorldMentalHealthDay. The Children's Society logo at the bottom centre.
