A children’s helpline has reported a 17% rise in counselling sessions about mental health with youngsters under 12 in the past year amid the coronavirus pandemic.
NSPCC said its Childline service has held 243 counselling sessions with children in this age group about their mental and emotional health since last April, compared with 207 in the previous year.
It said counsellors have recently heard from children trying to deal with school closures, the introduction and easing of lockdowns, concerns about the virus and social isolation.
