	Description:		New Zealand’s young people are facing a crisis of mental health. A recent harrowing story showed how powerless a family was amid the downward spiral of their daughter’s battle with mental health. These trends have been growing over the last decade, but they have been amplified by the impact of the coronavirus. So why are things becoming so bad? Is enough being done to protect young people? And what gaps urgently need to be filled? Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald investigations editor Alex Spence for a frank discussion about why Kiwi kids aren’t alright. You can also find out more about children's mental health in the latest episode of One Day You'll Thank Me with guest host Damien Venuto.
