We are VERY excited to launch our first-ever fundraising campaign!
Last year, many European institutions, the European Union, the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights, as well as many NGOs, spoke out, released reports, and shared work about mental health.

“49% of young people across Europe, have no access to mental health support.”

We think this is terrible and that something needs to be done.
At EYMH, we believe the best way to improve mental health support for young people, make it relevant, appropriate and useful to young people, is that it is CO-PRODUCED with young people!
To do this, we need to train and support the right young people across Europe, to enable and empower them to feel confident in getting involved in this way.
Led by our CEO Nick, we aim to complete 49 challenges in 2024, support our work and our participants by donating whatever you can, to contribute to our target.
This funding will pay for us to bring together young people from across Europe to be trained and supported to make positive changes for youth mental health.
What kind of challenges?
