Mental health advice for people under 21
If you know a young person who is struggling with their mental health, you can tell them that it’s nothing to feel ashamed about. They are not alone. Around one in four people in the UK have problems with their mental health each year.
We would suggest visiting the YoungMinds website for advice.
They have a helpline for parents - call 0808 802 5544.
