YoungMinds UK is committed to improving the emotional well-being and mental health of young people in this country. They support parents; provide training for professionals who work with young people; and offer young people chances to improve services and campaign for change.
Today, young people confront a dizzying array of pressures, from 24-hour social media to sexualised culture. It’s no wonder three children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health disorder. With half of all lifelong mental illnesses beginning before the age of fourteen, early intervention is crucial.
Unfortunately, NHS mental health services remain woefully underfunded and inadequate. Even worse, mental illnesses are heavily stigmatized.
Therefore, YoungMinds UK drives for improvements in young people’s mental health services – and makes information about mental health accessible, to challenge stereotypes and stigma.
Mental illness affects every one of us, whether directly or indirectly. Donate to a charity which is writing a more positive narrative.
