Young People

Working on ITV's This Morning brought me to the attention of many young people. It's a cliche, but a true one, that students and other young adults watch a lot of daytime television. One thing I have discovered because of this is how poorly served teenagers and young adults are by our health services. Teenagers especially often find it difficult to get the advice and help they need in a time and place that suits them. Here are articles from my archives aimed at young people.
