In November 2021, Jo Cotterill contracted COVID-19 and was extremely ill for several weeks, unable to perform even ordinary everyday tasks like walking her daughter to school. Her daughter, who had previously experienced anxiety, found this extremely difficult to cope with, and her anxiety reached a point where she could not attend school. Since the pandemic, teachers and parents have observed a significant increase in anxiety in children, and Jo is eager to demonstrate to young people that there is a way through it. Although her daughter is now back at school, she continues to struggle daily with anxiety. Fortunately, Jo has fully recovered.
