Announced this week, the major investment aims to tackle youth depression and anxiety which impact a combined total of around 400,000 under-18s every year.… “When students are feeling a little bit down or have issues at home, often they go to a teacher for support,” he told ABC. “We will be there on the front line, working with those school communities to help them work with those young people and families.”
