Suzi's Christmas Day harbour swim page
Suzi Eva is raising money for Young Minds Trust
Story
More young people than ever before need support for their mental health and accessing that support quickly, can make a critical difference to those young people.
Yet, most of the time those young people need to wait. And wait. And wait.
The waiting list to see a councillor on the nhs is as long as 6 months.
When it feels like nothing is there for you when you need it most, you feel alone.
For far too many young people, this is their reality. When they need help and can’t get it, it feels like they’re being told they don’t matter.
My daughter who is 15 years old told me the other day that she feels that schools care more about stats and uniforms than their mental health.
More and more children are taking their own lives. Very sad world we are living in !!!
Globally one in seven 10-19 year olds experience a mental disorder accounting for 13 % of the global burden of disease in this age group!
This year for Christmas I have decided to do the harbour swim and raise money for charity.
I understand times are tight at the moment but if you can spare anything it would be really appreciated!
My chosen charity is Young Minds.
This is an amazing organisation who support young people with mental health issues.
This amazing charity can also support the parents, to help them understand and support their child!Please help me raise some money for this wonderful charity as mental health, especially in young people is not widely spoken about or recognised!
Be the change! 🖤
Together, we can create a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.
