Mental Health

All of us have mental health and, like our bodies, our minds can become unwell.

1 in 10 young people will

experience a mental health

problem.

It’s important to

talk about mental

health and get help

early if things don’t

feel right, just like

we would for our

physical health.

Mental Health includes depression,

anxiety disorder, eating disorders,

psychosis or bipolar disorder.

“For someone to suggest that it’s

your fault is pretty horrible. You start

blaming yourself and it just

escalates.”

70% of young people who have experienced a mental

health problem say they’ve had negative reactions

from their friends.

Mental health problems can affect anyone no matter

what your life is like.

“They viewed

me as weak and

making it up.

Nobody took me

seriously.”

“They viewed me as weak and

No one should feel ashamed about having a mental

health problem, they wouldn’t if they had a broken

leg.

Supporting someone with a mental health problem,

just like supporting someone with a broken leg, can

make a big difference to how they feel.

Full recovery is possible, particularly if

help is sought early.

That's why starting a

conversation about mental health is

important.

It helps people to know they're not alone, it

can strengthen

relationships between friends, family and

peers.

Little things can make a big difference

You don’t need to live in a glass house to know

that you shouldn’t throw stones

“They treated

me like they

always had,

and kept in

contact…

even when I

was hiding.”
