Natasha Jade DevonMBE[4] (born 12 March 1981)[5] is a writer, campaigner and broadcaster. She has visited schools and colleges in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, including in Bangkok,[6]: 18–19 The Hague,[7]: 18 Shanghai,[8]: 5 Kathmandu,[9] Montreux[10]: 18 and Taipei,[11] delivering classes and conducting research with teenagers, teachers and parents on mental health, body image and social equality. She has also taken part in campus wellbeing programmes in British universities including Aberystwyth University and City, University of London, and is a trustee for the student mental health charity Student Minds.[12]
Devon has a weekly radio phone-in show on LBC.[13] She began writing a weekly column for the Times Educational Supplement in 2015, but resigned from the newspaper in May 2019 in "solidarity with the trans community" after it published an article recommending a resource to teachers that she described as "transphobic".[14] She currently has a monthly column in the online UK edition of Grazia Magazine.[15]
Devon has worked with a number of UK charities and organisations including Body Gossip and Mental Health First Aid England. She is a patron of No Panic, a charity which gives support to people living with anxiety.[16] In August 2015, the Department for Education appointed Devon as its first mental health champion for schools, but axed the role in May 2016.[17][18] Devon continues to give regular evidence to the Health and Education Select Committees and is involved in political campaigning. In July 2022, she published a novel, Toxic.
