Young Minds

YoungMinds are the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people's mental health.

They 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.

• 1 in 6 children aged five to 16 were identified as having a probable mental health problem in July 2020.
• Less than 1 in 3 young people with a mental health condition get access to NHS care and treatment.
• 80% of young people with mental health needs agree that the Covid-19 pandemic has made their mental health worse.

Every young person whose mental health ends up in crisis is a young person who has been failed. YoungMinds know that the earlier young people can access the right help, the more likely it is that they can avoid these crises. The charity want to see a world where every young person who is struggling feels able to reach out, and has people and services around them who can really help.
