Young Minds Trust
Young Minds is the national children's mental health charity committed to improving the mental health of babies, children and young people.
When children have mental health, they are able to live full and creative lives and make the most of their abilities, participate in friendships and develop relationships and manage the difficulties and frustrations they may face.
When they don't, when they are overwhelmed by misery, anger or fear, all kinds of problems can arise.
At any time, one in ten children and young people in Britain aged between five and 15 are suffering from behavioural, emotional or hyperactivity disorders. And one in five are experiencing a range of less severe mental health problems which significantly affect their daily lives.
Young Minds website offers direct access to information for young people, parents and professionals working with children, a telephone service offering advice and support for parents and professionals concerned about the mental health of a particular child and a range of accessible leaflets and booklets for young people, parents and professionals offering information and support on a range of mental health problems including depression, self injury, bullying and the effects of divorce and separation on children.
There is also a Young Minds Magazine, a bi-monthly publication reporting on a wide range of children's issues.
Young Minds works with professionals to increase understanding of children's mental health in front line settings, to improve joint working between agencies and professionals and to share information about what works in order to make a positive impact on current working.
Young Minds policy, information and research department informs and advises providers of services and the media on matters relating to child and adolescent mental health and aims to influence the detail of government policy.
