ABOUT THE 'SUPPORTING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH' AWARD

The pandemic and resulting lockdowns have had a profound impact on individuals worldwide, affecting their mental health and well-being in various ways. However, it is essential to acknowledge that children and young people have also faced significant challenges during this time. Without the constant support of services and organisations, many young people would have been left to cope with their struggles alone.

Studies have shown that early access to appropriate help and support greatly increases the chances of preventing mental health crises in young people. That’s why at ROYal, we are dedicated to creating a world where no young person feels isolated in their mental health journey, and where they receive the necessary support to thrive.

We believe it is crucial to recognise and celebrate those who go above and beyond to provide support for young people’s mental health. Whether it be through individual efforts or as part of an organisation, these champions deserve recognition for their unwavering commitment.

If you know any individuals or groups who have made a positive impact in this area, we encourage you to nominate them so that we can celebrate their efforts together. By acknowledging these unsung heroes, we hope to inspire others to join us in creating a more supportive and inclusive environment for young people’s mental well-being.

Together, we can work towards a future where no young person feels alone in their journey towards better mental health. Let us honour those who have paved the way and continue to strive towards a brighter tomorrow for our youth.
