I came across an article about the childhood mental health crisis, as it has been found that children's mental health is much worse than most people would think.
Natasha Devon, who is the government's mental health champion, warned that there is a danger of us 'medicalising childhood' by focusing on the symptoms of bad mental health in children, rather than focussing on the causes.
This is where I think my book/educational packs could be used to help.
I would imagine my pack being used in schools and their student support departments, or even just handed out to children so that they can discuss how they're feeling with their teachers and parents easier.
To expand the range I want to write stories using the monsters as characters, I think I could develop these characters and give them more in depth personalities and write narratives that link with the teaching packs.
