Pod Bites: Pushed to the brink

Did you know mental problems in children doubled within five years?

Our Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer Ana María Narváez examines the link between food insecurity and mental health in our latest podcast. Why this is this important:

• Food insecurity is linked to higher rates of self harm, anxiety disorders and suicidal thoughts among young people.
• Mental health is one of the main causes of absenteeism of pupils from schools.
• Hungry children are more prone to behavioural problems and educational attainment is often impacted.
