Mental Health Awareness Week: Call for urgent reform

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re calling on the UK government for urgent reform to protect young people’s mental health. 📢

Today, we’re heading to parliament to raise awareness of the benefits of positive communities – both online and offline – for our mental health.

We’ll also be shining a light on the dangers of digital spaces, and what we must do make online communities safer – particularly for young people.

While there are many supportive and uplifting online communities, there are also harmful ones that promote hatred, self-harm, and dangerous misinformation.

The mental health impacts of these negative environments can be catastrophic. So it’s essential that the government takes action to make these spaces safer, while we also learn about how we can embrace the good, and avoid the bad.
