YoungMinds

We've officially kicked off a nearly three-year partnership with Team GB wrapping up with the winter Olympics in February 2026!

The partnership aims to share the inspiring stories of young athletes to show a generation of young people that looking after your mental health is a marathon, not a sprint.

You can read the full press release for the partnership on our website - and see the announcement on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

It’s official our partnership with M&S launched to the public on 10^th October coinciding with World Mental Health Day and of course #HelloYellow here at YoungMinds.  To support the new partnership, M&S and YoungMinds commissioned new research to better understand young people's mental health which was published today.

The research highlighted 65% of young people have not asked for help with mental health despite struggling. You can read about the research findings online: https://youngminds.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5c889624b166d3d24a24424d4&id=898d9bd66e&e=99773b7134

Last year marked an all-time high in young people seeking support for their mental health. An underfunded and overburdened NHS is struggling to keep up, and too many young people aren’t getting the support they need.

The stark reality: we're facing a young people's mental health emergency.

Our work to provide young people with safe and accessible mental health support has never been more important. Find out more in our impact report: https://www.youngminds.org.uk/impact-report-2023/
