For more than 75 years, we have combined research, policy, campaigning and public engagement to challenge the causes of poor mental health and drive lasting change. Today, mental health outcomes across the UK are worsening, particularly for children and young people.

Working lives : so that young people can thrive in mentally-healthy workplaces that support their wellbeing.
