It takes courage to ask for help. But for many young people who do, the support they need just isn’t there. Hundreds of thousands of young people are struggling with their mental health, but too many are being told to wait, struggling to cope and hitting a crisis point before they get help.

But things can get better. And we’re leading the movement for change.

We provide young people with the tools to look after their mental health. We empower adults to be the best support they can be to the young people in their lives. And we give young people the space and confidence to get their voices heard and change the world we live in.

Together, we can create a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.

We provide practical help and expert knowledge to professionals, parents and young people, and this work includes:

• A free Parents Helpline: a lifeline to thousands of parents and carers each year.
• Making mental health information accessible online, through e-newsletters and a range of publications.
• Expert training, resources and consultancy giving knowledge and confidence to those working with children and young people.
• YoungMinds Activists campaign for change in children and young people's mental health.
• Campaigning to change attitudes and policies: raising awareness for the past 25 years.
