I’m interested in understanding how charities like YoungMinds work internally, and want to contribute to having different perspectives represented in conversations around young people’s mental health on a larger scale.
Which of our values do you relate to most, and why do you think it’s an important value for us?
The value I relate the most to is: 'we're not afraid to speak up for what's right'.
Everyone affected deserves to have a voice in conversations about mental health, so I think it’s really important for YoungMinds to support and echo people who might not otherwise be heard.
