'Beyond Westminster' returns on Mental Health Awareness Week for a discussion on the ‘Screen-Demic’ and what Government should do about it.

With the Safer Phones Bill going through the House of Commons, we ask why the Government has watered down its plans to protect young people.

This conversation draws on research conducted in Change The Prescription, the CSJ's landmark report into mental health which evidenced social media and smartphones as contributors to the rise in mental ill-health. Read it here: centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/library/change-the-prescription.
