Our current projects include:
Right Here is an ambitious 5-year project to revolutionise the prevention of mental health problems among people aged 16-25. It will also tackle the stigma attached to mental illness that often stops young people asking for help.
Right Here will invest in partnerships between public and voluntary sector organisations across the UK. These will pilot new ways of working to protect young people’s mental health.

The Listen Up project promotes innovative practice in the provision of crisis services for young people aged 16 to 25. We also want to influence policy and practice about children and young people at a national level.
In the first part of the project, then called Youth Crisis 1, we consulted young people to find out what kinds of crisis services they needed, what worked for them and what they wanted for the future.
The second phase of the project, Listen Up, worked with eight project sites around the UK. The sites were chosen as they have developed creative new ways of both engaging with young people responsively and of providing services to prevent emotional or mental health crises or to help young people in crisis.
Young people using services at each of the sites were asked to explain what parts of the service worked well and what could be improved in terms of environment and the staff working in the service.

This Inquiry was jointly run by the Mental Health Foundation and the Camelot Foundation. Launched at the House of Commons in 2004, the two-year Inquiry heard evidence from over 350 individuals and organisations, and most importantly listened to the voices of young people who have experience of self-harm.
