Kids on the Edge

Miniseries

Our children are struggling to know how to live in today’s world. Unprecedented numbers are being diagnosed with mental health disorders, being medicated, or are facing a crisis of identity. For nearly a hundred years the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust (known as ‘the Tavi’) has been at the forefront of exploring young minds, and this series goes behind their doors for the first time.
