"My mum saved me" | Roman Kemp unpacks his teenage years living with anxiety

Join Roman Kemp by taking part in our Heaviest Backpack campaign, which aims to open up a nationwide conversation around children’s mental health.
Some children walk around with the weight of the world on their shoulders.
That’s why BBC Children in Need are launching ‘The Heaviest Backpack’ to show that these burdens, whether it’s anxiety or problems at home, can weigh children down and follow them everywhere.
