We aim to build mental health resilience in young people, and help parents to better support a young person struggling with mental health.
The Youth Mental Health Foundation C.I.C. is a Devon-based not-for-profit organisation working with young people, families, and the wider community 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 mental health challenges from escalating. We are directly supporting families whose young people are in crisis with their mental health, through in-person and online provision. We work with communities across Devon and have a growing national and international reach. The impact of our work is more resilient young people 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.
Our organisation was founded, and is led, by parents who have lived experience of supporting their young people through significant mental health challenges. We are informed by the insight and personal experiences of young people themselves. The development of our organisation and activities is underpinned by a wealth of experience in our team of child mental health practitioners, advisory board and consultants. We have a strong track record of providing support and interventions for families in need.
