2022 – 2025
Why now?
For a long time now we have been reacting to most the work we do. Seizing opportunities and trying to push the agenda for young people’s voices in youth mental health matters across Europe.
Our vision
Our vision is a europe in which young people’s voices are heard and reacted to, ensuring services and support for young peoples mental health are the best they can be, across the continent. Engaging young people at a political level, right through to an individual level, young people’s voices matter at every level for mental health.
Our mission
We act in order to raise up the voices of young people to promote mental health and to support those impacted by mental ill-health across Europe.
“I really liked that we were listened to. As young people our ideas and feedback were taken into account.”
— Young Leader Volunteer
“Problems with mental health are more common than I thought and the testimony of a person who has suffered from this problem has been very constructive.”
— Eurodesk Spain, Trainee participant
