Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition

Invest today for
a better tomorrow

The Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition (CYPMHC)
brings together leading charities to campaign jointly on the mental
health and wellbeing of children and young people.

At any one time, 1 in 10 children and young people have a
diagnosable mental health problem, and it is well established that
most adolescent and adult mental illness can be traced back to childhood.

Addressing issues early helps individuals and society – that message needs a
powerful voice.

Our aims:

1. to ensure that our voice is heard – the first unified voice speaking on children and young people’s mental health
2. to change policy at the highest levels to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people across the UK
3. to campaign with children and young people on their mental health and wellbeing.
