Story
YoungMinds is the UK's leading charity fighting for children and young people's mental health. Turning real life experiences into positive change, we are leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported through life, whatever the challenges.
They are here to make sure children and young people get the best possible mental health support and have the resilience to overcome life's difficulties.
The crisis in children and young people's mental health is real and it is urgent. More children and young people than ever before are reaching out for help with their mental health. But for those who take that brave step, help is much too hard to find.
