Join our movement: Crushed by a million pressures
The youth mental health crisis isn’t caused by one thing.
It’s a million tiny things that add up.
A global pandemic, political instability, the cost of living, social media, climate anxiety, exams — all of it adds to the pressure young people are under, making everyday life harder and the future feel more uncertain than ever. We need to revolutionise how society supports young people’s mental health.
Join our movement and don’t let young people take it on alone.
Missing the Mark
Join our campaign to end SATs and reform exams.
Exams are one of the biggest pressures young people face. They're taking a serious toll on your mental health. With the Government reviewing how school assessments work, now’s the time to push for change.
Will you join us and make them listen?

Talking about mental health with older family members or friends can be tough. They might have different views, especially if they grew up in a culture where mental health wasn’t openly discussed. This can be frustrating. But with some patience and calm, you can help them understand why mental health matters. Our guide can support you to navigate those tricky conversations.
