About Us

We are a charity with a difference, creating big impact in the most important agenda of the 21st century. Being a teenager has never been more challenging, and with 50% of lifelong mental health problems starting by the age of 14, it’s a crucial developmental turning point.

Our focus is prevention, not crisis management. The need is urgent, for all teenagers.

Our impact

We are proud of our reach and growing community, and our work to inspire and transform the way we think about mental health.
