This video from the BBC exposes some of the mental health struggles that many children in care experience in the UK, sharing the story of one particular young man, Callum, who was placed in care and engaged in self-harming behavior. "England's children's commissioner Anne Longfield has told the Victoria Derbyshire programme that the care system has been too focused on child safeguarding in the past, and not enough on helping children recover from traumatic upbringings," says the video description. "She said there should be 'a presumption' among those working in the sector that all children in care should receive support for their mental health. Children in care are four times more likely to have a mental health condition."
