Dr Alistair Bailie, Clinical Psychologist and Wellbeing Director at youHQ, recently featured in a new Twinkl article about how KS2 educators can support students' mental health.

As more and more KS2 teachers are teaching and supporting children who struggle with their mental health, Twinkl Digest reached out to Dr Alistair Bailie to answer some common questions educators might have.
