BARNSLEY Central MP Dan Jarvis spoke out in Parliament this week about the town’s children who are gripped by a mental health ‘crisis’.
According to local leaders, one in six kids in Barnsley are struggling.
In Parliament, Dan spoke out and called for ‘vital’ support to be provided.
He said: “It’s deeply concerning that one in six kids in Barnsley are struggling with their mental health.
“It’s vital that the government steps up support, including by increasing specialist mental health provision in schools - so every child in Barnsley can access the help they need.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
