It’s concerning to see how prolific mental health struggles are among young people. At Virgin Unite, we’ve supported the Crisis Text Line for a number of years now, and it’s been incredible to see how tirelessly they approach the issue. For a new report, the team partnered with Common Good Labs to analyse anonymised conversations that young people under 18 had with Crisis Text Line’s volunteer crisis counsellors via text message. The study identified the six most common resources teens say they need from their communities, which are discussed here: https://virg.in/3HX22fG #mentalhealth #wellbeing #charity #youngpeople
Today there are many different challenges for young people, here in Ukraine these are war, loss of loved ones, illness and loss of housing... It is very important to look for opportunities to develop programs and projects to help children and youth. You are doing an important job, bravo! 👏👏👏❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Absolutely crucial insights! As the founder of Evolving in Education (EIE), I resonate deeply with the need for comprehensive support systems for young minds. Education extends beyond textbooks, and mental health, arts, physical activities, and nature play pivotal roles. Let's continue advocating for accessible resources and collaborating to empower the youth of today, and tomorrow. 🌏 #MentalHealth #EducationRevolution
Give good benefits to employees and most of the mental health issues will be solved.
Holly Branson It's commendable to see initiatives addressing mental health among young people. The insights from this report are invaluable for understanding their needs. As leaders, how can we further support mental well-being within our communities and organizations?
The 6 solutions seem so simple and so obvious. Also, so human and not very hard to achieve. SG Vivek Murthy's book "Together" talks a great deal about this. Wonderful work you are up to :)
Sadly it appears that globally children are not our priority.
Massive issue to lean into 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Holly Branson & Virgin Unite for the support & partnerships on mental health. #goodlabs #askmeaboutmentalhealthfirstaid #crisisvoluteers

9moHolly, The pervasive tendrils of mental health challenges amongst our youth indeed cast a somber shadow, one that organizations like Virgin Unite valiantly strive to illuminate. Your alliance with Crisis Text Line epitomizes the fortitude and compassion necessary to provide a beacon of hope to those in the throes of psychological adversity. May this pioneering study serve as a clarion call for communities to marshal the resources that will nurture the well-being of our future generations.
