Supporting young people's
mental health
At Mental Health UK, we know there is a growing need for support for young people, with most long-term mental health problems beginning in adolescence: 75% of mental illnesses start before a person’s 18th birthday.
Evidence shows that providing good, early preventative support in the right place at the right time can help to avoid deterioration in young people’s mental health, and equip them for the challenges of everyday life.
That’s why we created Your Resilience – one of the largest UK-wide programmes for 14-18 year olds which focuses on supporting young people’s mental health resilience.
