Early support hubs allow young people to access support before problems escalate - and their positive impact is proven. We need your voice to make this happen. Add your name to our campaign.

The Government need to stop stalling on young people's mental health.

On 27 June, we told the Government to stop stalling on young people’s mental health. We took our campaign on two vans to Parliament Square, with young people’s messages, demanding they be heard. No more time for talking. No more empty promises. We want action. #EndTheWait

    Someone asked me,”What do you say to someone who just lost a son?” I said,”You don’t have to say anything. Be there so they can have a shoulder to cry on. Make them coffee. Sweep their floors or wash their dishes, watch a movie, hold their hand. You don’t need to say anything. Just be there and let them know you care. Call them and ask how they’re doing. If they want to talk, just listen. Don’t try to fix them. It just takes time.”

    It always makes me suspicious when the government and corporations move together to heavily endorse pinpointing 'mental illness' as a problem to be solved by the individual. Yes, talking honestly and openly helps a lot. But in all honesty, are we really allowed to talk honestly and openly about things that really matter these days? There is a stench of hypocrisy and a dirty agenda from this charity. They'll be visiting my daughters school next month. I will remind her to stay critical.

      Mine about the same time by my calculations. He was 16 and took his own life, seemingly out of nowhere. I was still looking forward to the days of giving my son life advice and ensuring that he does not need to worry about his burdens as I had to. That life is gone and I get a painful existence till the end. Pretending for my daughter, trying to make some kind of co-existence with my wife work.

    To anyone grieving , Oh how my heart goes out to you! May He remove the sting of death (“O death, where is your sting?!”). I pray for an overwhelming abundance of grace. May His peace keep guard over your hearts and your minds. May He grant you a living hope for the future. My heart is with you. Jesus The Christ loves you , unconditionally , and His arms are open to receive you to Himself .

    Love this ❤ As someone who has a MH issue I’ve always said I believe it’s so much harder for men as there’s this perception that it’s a weakness to talk about your MH as a man. Some of the strongest people I’ve met have a MH condition. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ❤

    I cope with writing & humor… I recreated a CZcams channel for it. Crying spells have been creeping in. I’ve screamed and sobbed. Last night… when I turned off the lights, I kept denying that she died. I cope with humor so, telling people that I lost someone very special in my life and in my family, would accuse me of being a farce. However, I can see how someone else would think as such. But my pain is so deep. It has only been 3 days. She never woke up after surgery this past Friday -It was a long weekend, so I’m back to work mañana: Work keeps me going, you know. For those who use humor as a way to cope or mask, I get it and I don’t judge you. Your pain is not less, your pain is JUST as valid. Sending love. And I’m sorry for your loss, whatever that may be. I still don’t comprehend what happened this past Friday. I DON’T.
