Bear Grylls has urged the UK's schooling system to improve when it comes to helping students deal with mental health issues.
The adventurer, 48, believes that while things are getting better, schools are still "woefully ill-equipped" and are failing to teach children a number of important life lessons.
Speaking candidly to The Mirror, Bear opened up on how the state must continue to get better if it is to help the latest generation through what he has called labelled an anxiety pandemic.
"I think the UK’s school system is woefully ill-equipped," he claimed. "None of this stuff [mental health] is taught and I certainly wasn’t taught this stuff at school."
He told how he believes one of the main reasons we are seeing a "staggeringly high" number of suicides in people in their 40s and 50s is because that generation simply wasn't well equipped from a younger age.
