Whether you want to understand more about how you're feeling and find ways to feel better, or you want to support someone who's struggling, we can help. We want to see a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health, and all young people get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
YoungMinds is a mental health charity for young people providing young people with tools to look after their mental health. Our website is full of advice and information on what to do if you're struggling with how you feel. We empower parents and adults who work with young people, 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.
