Supporting mental health

More and more kids are experiencing poor mental health. We want to show that mental health issues are often less visible and to encourage conversations that can help.

Why we need your support

The last few years have seen an unprecedented rise in children with mental health problems. Covid, then the cost-of-living crisis have increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. In the last 3 years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health issue has increased by 50% (2021). And 75% of children and young people who experience a mental health issue aren’t getting the help they need.
