## Resource

Pudsey Bear, the beloved mascot for BBC Children In Need, breaks his silence in a new film during Mental Health Awareness Week. Teaming up with young actor Dexter Sol Ansell, Pudsey emphasizes the importance of adults listening to childrens worries. The film, created by BBC Creative and Blinkink, highlights the need for safe spaces to talk about mental health. Research shows that children who have someone to confide in are nine times more likely to feel happy. However, 24% of children bottle up their worries, and 38% feel their fears make life tougher. BBC Children In Need is investing in mental health programs to support children, with a focus on creating trusted adult figures. The film premieres on BBC Ones The One Show and encourages children to speak out about their mental health. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
