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.

YoungMinds is the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people's mental health. We’re leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever the challenges. We’re here to make sure they get the best possible mental health support and have the resilience to overcome life’s difficulties. We provide practical help and expert knowledge to professionals, parents and young people, and this work includes:

• A free Parents Helpline: a lifeline to thousands of parents and carers each year.
• Making mental health information accessible online, through e-newsletters and a range of publications.
• HeadMeds: an innovative website with down-to-earth information on mental health medication.
• Expert training, resources and consultancy giving knowledge and confidence to those working with children and young people.
• YoungMinds Activists campaign for change in children and young people's mental health.
• Campaigning to change attitudes and policies: raising awareness for the past 25 years.

Our mission is to make sure all young people get the best possible mental health support and have the resilience to overcome life's challenges.
