Who are we?
HeadsUP wants to get everyone talking about their mental health as freely as we talk about our physical health. We work with children and young people, promoting understanding, raising awareness and breaking down the stigma that surrounds mental health issues.
What we want to achieve?
The three main aims of HeadsUP Mental Health Awareness are:
1. To empower and equip young people to look after their mental health.
2. To offer support and guidance to schools and youth settings to help with the overall well being of the children and young people.
3. To help children and young people develop a whole set of personal strengths and skills that prepare them for adult life.
Our Values:
Empowering children and young people to look after their mental health.
Supportive towards children, young people, families, schools and our staff members.
Determined to influence positive change towards a brighter future for the next generation.
Collaborative in our work with other organisations to make sure children and young people receive the best service possible.
