Young people in Cumbria are stepping up to demand change in how mental health is understood, supported, and prioritised for their generation.
Rates of mental health issues among 16 to 25-year-olds are continuing to rise, with nearly one in six now facing e significant challenges.
On Sunday December 15, young people aged 16 to 25 from across the South Lakes are invited to gather at No-Hand’s Rest Coffee House in Kendal for a unique opportunity to design and launch a grassroots mental health awareness campaign.
Wave Forward, the charity behind the event, said it was a rallying call for young people to shape the change they want to see in their communities.
The charity said through its youth network, The Helm, it offered a platform for creative, peer-driven campaigns that tackle mental health stigma while building confidence and skills among participants.
The event takes place from 4pm to 6pm at No-Hand’s Rest Coffee House, K-Village, Kendal, on Sunday, December 15.
