That’s why BBC Children in Need are launching ‘The Heaviest Backpack’ to show that these burdens, whether it’s anxiety or problems at home, can weigh children down and follow them everywhere.

The campaign aims to raise awareness and deliver resources to help parents and other trusted adults relieve some of the burden for these children, and open up a nationwide conversation around children’s mental health.

Find out more about the campaign on the Children in Need website 💛
