YoungMinds is the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people's mental health.
We offer a wide range of free advice, information, and resources to help young people understand their feelings, cope with life’s challenges, and find ways to feel better. Our website is packed with guides on mental health conditions, identity, medications, and real stories from young people.
For parents and carers, we provide practical tips, emotional support, and guidance through our Parents Helpline. If you’re worried about your child’s mental health, you can call our helpline or use our webchat service for signposting and support. We also offer a 50-minute telephone consultation with a mental health professional if needed.
- Young people: Find help with anxiety, anger, self-harm, relationships, and more.
