Brathay Young Minds Matter appeal
The number of young people struggling with mental health difficulties has more than doubled in recent years, which means providing targeted programmes to support them is a priority for Brathay.
Brathay are working to help reduce these numbers, but we need your help. Poor mental health is something that affects one in four of the population and it is increasing, especially among young people.
Nationally, the number of young people experiencing mental health problems is growing:
-
One quarter of young people in the UK experience suicidal thoughts
-
Rates of depression and anxiety in teenagers have increased by 70% in the past 25 years
-
About 25% of young people self-harm on one occasion
Every £1 donated makes a real difference, helping ensure that more young people get the support they need.
£25 pays for an hours group work
£100 trains a mentor to support a young person who has no one else
£250 provides a life changing residential in the Lake District.
