We are the UK’s leading charity committed to improving the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people.

Working closely with young people and families, we campaign on a number of issues impacting young people and their mental health.

Our activists campaign for political change and spread the message in schools, at events and online about how to look after your mental health.

We also run a parents helpline, which offers free advice and support to any adult who’s worried about the behaviour or mental health of a young person.

We also offer training and consultancy to professionals who work with children – including teachers, doctors and mental health services.

Finally, we provide a huge amount of information and support on their website and on social media.
