Deconstructing the system report

Young people's voices on mental health, society and inequality.

Young people are at the sharp end of a mental health crisis.

Our 'Deconstructing the system' report brings together the voices of tens of thousands of young people who shared their experiences of mental health. These experiences highlight how systemic issues truly underpin the young people’s mental health crisis and what needs to be done to enact real change.

Now we want to make that change a reality.

Two vans driving around Parliament. The first reads: "Stop stalling on young people's mental health." The second reads "Imagine how it feels to be told you have to wait months for a referral, or even be denied NHS support because you're not 'sick enough' - Jasmin, 18"

We're done waiting for the Government to #EndTheWait

We’ve told the Government the impact waiting for mental health support has on young people. Now they need to listen and act.

That's why we resorted to driving young people’s messages around parliament square, demanding they be heard.

The time for consultation is over. We need action, not talk.

It’s time for the Government to #EndTheWait.

We ran a half marathon and are fundraising for YoungMinds because we lost our brother and son, Riley, aged 17, unexpectedly last year. We don’t want any other families to suffer like we are.

For years, running has done amazing things for my mental health. I wanted to take this a step further by running to support other people’s mental health too.
