What we do

• When a young person is struggling with their wellbeing or mental health parents and carers often find it hard to know what to do and often blame themselves. They can find it difficult to access support for their child, or find it hard to overcome stigma around mental health conditions. In order to support children and young people it is vital to support parents and carers.
• oungMinds offers a free, national Helpline service for any parent or carer concerned about a young person’s wellbeing or mental health, aged 0-25.
• We provide translation services in over 200 languages and have comprehensive resources on the Parent and Carer section of our website.
• Our advisers are equipped to support you with anything that your child is going through. Including school avoidance, behavioural challenges, worry, ADHD, low mood and much more.
