Liz Twist

Labour — Blaydon and Consett

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 March 2025

Debate

Mental Health Support: Educational Settings

Contribution

My hon. Friend will know that suicide is the main cause of death for young people under the age of 35 in the UK. For those under 18, school is where they spend the majority of their life, and somewhere we have an opportunity to make change. Will my hon. Friend join me in paying tribute to the 3 Dads Walking, who have played a significant role in ensuring that this issue stays on the agenda and in tackling the assumption that talking about suicide makes it more likely to happen?
