When Rosie was younger, things were difficult. Her dad had always been in and out of her life, but suddenly he became absent entirely. Rosie didn't understand. She felt like it was her fault.
“I just didn’t want to be here”
Rosie's self esteem hit rock bottom. At one point, she even tried to take her own life. But when Rosie was referred to The Children’s Society, she was able to find new ways to cope. The help Rosie received changed her life.
"If it wasn’t for The Children’s Society, I probably wouldn’t be here"
But across the country, thousands of young people are still waiting to be heard. Schools can provide vital support for young people when they’re struggling, but right now they’re overstretched. Only 26% of students have access to a mental health support team at their school or college*, leaving thousands of young people struggling alone.
This isn't right. But you can help us change things for the better. Last year we supported over 63,000 young people like Rosie. And we won't stop until every young person gets the support they need.
Sign and share today to:
1. Show young people you stand with them.
2. Help us to influence the Government to expand mental health support teams in schools with long-term funding.
3. Allow us to provide a lifeline for even more young people.
Together, we can make sure children like Rosie can access mental health support as soon as they need it. We can’t let children wait any longer. Add your name now.
