Youth Mental Health Foundation

The Youth Mental Health Foundation CIC is a Devon-based not-for-profit organisation working with young people, families, and schools to address the crisis in youth mental health. We are addressing an urgent need for preventative education to build resilience in children, alongside early intervention strategies to prevent young people's mental health challenges from escalating.

We are directly supporting families whose young people are in crisis with their mental health. We work with communities across Devon and have a growing national reach. The impact of our work is more resilient individuals who are less likely to experience severe mental health challenges, and more families who are empowered and equipped to support their child’s recovery from mental health struggles.

The Crisis in Youth Mental Health:

20% of young people experience a mental health problem in any given year.
1-in-6 young people self-harm in the UK.
50% of mental health problems are established by age 14.
10% of children and young people (aged 5-16 years) have a clinically diagnosable mental problem, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age.
