Cillian Murphy speaks on the importance of children’s mental health systems: “These kids need somewhere to go. They need libraries, they need youth clubs, they need alternative education centres or else they’re just on the streets & considered problems or statistics.”

He’s so right, kids need a ‘third place’ (in addition to home and school) and so many children are lacking them!
Or stuck at home with neglectful/abusive family
Absolutely. There’s a real mental health crisis for all age groups, but children especially need support in the current climate; there really is such a lack of youth spaces that aren’t online now. I had not heard of “Steve” before this, but now I want to check it out. 🙂
