YoungMinds is a renowned charity championing the wellbeing and mental health of young people across the UK. It operates with the firm belief that every child and young person deserves a mental health support framework which resonates with their individual needs, empowering them and building their resilience. Prioritising the fight against mental health issues among young people, YoungMinds is incredibly proactive and forward-thinking in providing relevant help and resources.
YoungMinds primarily offers three distinctly targeted areas of support. First, it extends focused guidance to young people struggling with mental health problems in terms of managing their feelings, coping with life and its challenges, understanding different mental health conditions and medications, and providing assistance in supporting a friend. In addition, the organization shares real stories and provides an informative guide to seeking the right kind of support.
Second, YoungMinds also provides invaluable assistance to parents and carers who deal with children facing mental health issues. It supplies an extensive A-Z mental health guide and shares key advice about how to talk to a child about mental health. Furthermore, means of gaining support from mental health services are also discussed and a dedicated Parents Helpline provides prompt and rightfully guided advice to concerned parents seeking help.
Lastly, for adults and professionals working with youth, YoungMinds offers vital resources and mental health training courses. It also provides consultancy, sheds light on strategic service design and lends substantial support towards building community resilience.
