Provider Fitzrovia Youth in Action
Name Mental health peer mentors
Discussing mental health can be a taboo subject for many children. To help encourage young people to talk more openly about mental wellbeing, a London-based charity has created a new programme to match those with mental health concerns with older peers.
Organisers Fitzrovia Youth in Action (FYA) hope the project will not only address young people's mental health concerns, but also help build their resilience and confidence. In addition, mentors will gain valuable leadership and problem-solving skills.
Funded by Camden Council, the programme will see Mind in Camden provide training for young people recruited as mentors, while mentees will be referred by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.
