Teenage mental health needs its own kind of support

Teenage mental health is different from adult mental health. Our work is shaped around the emotional, social and developmental challenges young people face, so support feels more relevant, more thoughtful and more effective.

Helping young people feel more at ease

Womble and Pingu are part of the support we offer at Teenage Mental Health. As therapy pets, they help young people feel calmer in sessions – giving them something comforting to focus on while they talk through difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Making the right support easier to reach 

Young people and families often need support at moments that feel urgent, confusing or overwhelming. We started Teenage Mental Health in 2018 to make it easier to get the right help – with support shaped around the realities of adolescence.
