We’re working hard to support the NHS Five Year Forward plan. By 2020 we want to be supporting an extra 50,000 children and young people experiencing mental health problems.
What makes us different?
Youngkind has been set up in direct response to the growing need for national reform with the specific intent of unlocking the resources of over 10,000 counsellors, social workers and psychologists that provide private treatment in a patch work fashion today.
2,600,000
UK citizens currently have an open referral within the mental health services.
560,000
Of these are children and young people under the age of 18.
75%
Of those are not receiving treatment and most likely never will due to the shortage of treatment services.
6,000
Is the number of children and young people that committed suicide as a direct result to not receiving treatment.

We’re on a journey to completely revolutionise the available access to professional mental health support. We’d love for you to join us.
