Story
Every young person whose mental health ends up in crisis is a young person who has been failed. We know that the earlier young people can access the right help, the more likely it is that they can avoid these crises.
The YoungMinds Crisis Messenger text service provides free, 24/7 crisis support across the UK. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis and need support, you can text YM to 85258.
It is free and confidential to text our service from the following major networks: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.
In September 2020, YoungMinds launched their Act Early campaign to demand a cross-government strategy for young people's mental health. The campaign reached over 3.5million people and 70,000 people signed our petition.
YoungMinds have a new purpose: to stop young people’s mental health reaching crisis point.
A new vision: that no young person feels alone with their mental health.
A new mission: to make sure young people get the support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
