YoungMinds is a UK charity supporting young people with their mental health.
Their mission is very clear: no young person should feel alone with their mental health.
Navigating life as a young person can be an incredibly difficult task and talking about their feelings can be a daunting task for the young person and the adults in their lives.
YoungMinds offer a wide range of resources to facilitate conversation, improve mental well-being and get support before a young person ever gets to crisis point.
They also offer a parent helpline for help and support.
They have information available on their website about mental health, mental health conditions, medications, how to support their friends and how to reach out for help.
Their “My Feelings” section offers great explanations of emotions young people commonly experience and provides relatable real life stories and ways to cope when their feelings become overwhelming.
Additionally they offer great resources for professionals working with young people.
We hope you find these resources helpful, should you ever need them, because noone should feel like they are alone with their feelings.
Take care! Of yourself and each other.
