Why do we need to act now?

The latest NHS survey found that 25.8% of 16–24-year-olds in England had a common mental health condition in 2023–24.

That's up from 18.9% in 2014.

Young adulthood can be a crucial period for mental health. Recognising difficulties early, reducing stigma and making support easier to access can make a real difference.

Mental health support shouldn't be something young people have to struggle to find.

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

Today is an opportunity to pause, raise awareness and remind ourselves that mental health matters.

Mental illness is real, and it can affect anyone. With around 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem each year, there’s a good chance that someone we know is struggling — even if we don’t realise it.

Just as we care for our physical health, it’s important to look after our mental and emotional wellbeing too.

Take care of yourself:
🌿 Get outside and enjoy some fresh air
☕ Connect with friends or family
😴 Make time for rest and enough sleep
💛 Do something each day that brings you joy
📱 Give yourself space to pause and recharge

And look out for one another.

Notice the people around you. Check in with a friend. Offer to take someone for a coffee. Listen without needing to fix anything.

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference — sometimes bringing a little light into someone’s darkness when they need it most.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s remember that looking after our mental health is something we can all take part in. 💚

Sometimes the most powerful support begins with the simplest acts of kindness.

For Priya, being listened to, offered something to eat, and shown genuine care created the trust she needed to open up about her struggles. Those small moments helped turn fear and hopelessness into hope.

Growing up doesn't mean growing out of mental health difficulties.

NHS England data shows that in 2023, a probable mental disorder was reported in:

20.3% of 8–16-year-olds
23.3% of 17–19-year-olds
21.7% of 20–25-year-olds

The transition from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood can bring huge changes — education, relationships, work, independence and new responsibilities.

That's why early, on-going support matters.

Breakthrough rarely happens overnight.

When we first met Mia, she barely spoke. Today, she arrives at sessions eager to talk, ask questions, and share her hopes for the future. It's a reminder that trust takes time - but when young people are given the space to build it, incredible things can happen.

Sometimes recovery starts with something as simple as being heard.

For Michaela, it meant having a safe space to talk, discovering healthier ways to cope, finding comfort in books, and expressing herself through songwriting. By the end of her journey, she wasn't just looking beyond self-harm—she was looking towards her future.

Healing often begins with feeling safe enough to be honest.
