DAY FIFTEEN - THE RIGHTS TO MENTAL HEALTH

You probably know that lots of people are struggling with their mental health right now. But did you know that mental health is a human right?

 

Everyone has a fundamental right to access the mental health support they need, but for too many young people across the UK, that right just isn’t being met.


Even before Covid-19 struck, young people faced long waiting lists and other barriers to accessing services, and the huge mental health impact of the pandemic has only made things worse.

 

That’s why Our Minds Our Future, a campaign led by young people and co-ordinated by the charity Youth Access, is standing up for young people’s right to accessible and age-appropriate support.
