Call on our Prime Minister to ease the pressures on young people
Our Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “Healthy, happy children is not a nice to have, it’s a basic right”. We couldn’t agree more.
Sign our petition calling on the Government to fulfil their manifesto commitments, tackle the systemic issues contributing to the mental health emergency, and stop blaming young people for the challenges they face. We need to build something new. Something better. Something designed by young people.

Talking about mental health with older family members or friends can be tough. They might have different views, especially if they grew up in a culture where mental health wasn’t openly discussed. This can be frustrating. But with some patience and calm, you can help them understand why mental health matters. Our guide can support you to navigate those tricky conversations.

Every pressure counts
Exhausting and enraging, but hopeful, that’s what’s it’s like being a young person. I feel like there is a lack of empathy across the board for young people, but I feel there’s a lot of hope and a lot of potential though.
