On My Mind

"On My Mind aims to empower young people to make informed choices about the mental health support they want, the treatments they receive and the outcomes they desire.

It contains information, advice and resources to help young people support their own mental health, including signposting to sources of support in times of crisis and tools to help young people manage their own wellbeing. 

The free digital resources are designed for use by children and young people between the ages of 10 – 25. These may be young people who are thinking about looking for support, who may be receiving or waiting to receive support or for those the traditional offer does not appeal to or has not worked for and who want help and information about self-managing their own mental health and wellbeing.

Co-produced with young people to help other young people"

"National Lottery-funded HeadStart programme"

"These are the latest findings from a pioneering survey of over 30,000 young people (aged 11 to 14) collected as part the National Lottery-funded HeadStart programme by the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and UCL’s Evidence Based Practice Unit.

The research highlights the link between mental health difficulties, lower academic attainment and persistent absence from school. It also finds that pupils excluded from school consistently have higher levels of behavioural problems, difficulties with peers and attention difficulties than their peers."
