A Better Day by Dr. Alex George, The Boy Fitz Hammond

A Better Day is a positive, accessible and practical toolkit guiding young readers in how they can care for their mental health with confidence. I am honoured to be appointed for this role where I’ll be working closely with government to make mental health an absolute priority and hope to have a positive impact on the lives of young people and their education for good. Written by the award-winning author and podcaster Elizabeth Day, this is a sensible, kind and practical tool for all teenagers (and adults!) showing how to re-frame supposed failures into essential parts of life that we can learn from. Dr Alex George is the government’s specially appointed Youth Mental Health Ambassador, and clearly cares passionately about helping young people with depression, loneliness, gender identity, stress, loss and body positivity among a raft of other common issues. What a wonderful book for young readers on mental health topics. And not just your run of the mill explanations, but tangible emotions explained through real-life scenarios.Children’s Mental Health Week couldn’t be a more important time to come together and help our youth improve their wellbeing. We all have a brain, but it’s likely that, ironically, we very rarely ever think about what it’s doing for us all day long (and at night). But it’s doing some pretty amazing things: keeping us breathing, giving us dreams, regulating our blood pressure and all manner of other complicated things. Dr Alex is an A&E doctor, he has become known for his honesty and insight around mental & physical health and wellbeing, using his broadcast and social media platforms to bring accessible advice around health and medicine to his followers. He recently presented his own documentary for BBC One and Children in Need, is a regular guest on Lorraine More

It has been a tough year, but the NHS is here for children’s mental health, and with the help of Dr Alex and our partners in health, education and charities, we will keep working hard to make sure every child in this country get the mental health support that they deserve. I would say the book is aimed at kids aged 10-16 roughly. But also great to read as a parent of a child in that age range to help gain a better understanding of children's mental health. The last year has been unimaginably difficult for all of us, but particularly for young people who have sacrificed so much. Alex is on a mission to make mental health education compulsory in schools, and has become prolific throughout the UK in his campaigning with charities such as YoungMinds, Anna Freud Centre & Mind, to lobby the government to change policy and ensure mental health sits alongside the likes of Maths and English on the curriculum. An upbeat and positive book which feels perfectly pitched at lower secondary school kids and will no doubt be hugely helpful for many.
