Right HereRight HereA voice and a choice for our mental health

Right Here Media Centre

Right Here is a groundbreaking five year project by Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Mental Health Foundation. We want to change the way in which the mental health of young people aged 16 to 25 is addressed. We aim to show how we can help young people improve their mental health and reduce the chances of them developing mental health problems. We also want to tackle the stigma attached to mental ill-health that often stops young people asking for help.




Our press team works with the media in a number of ways to promote and engage people with Right Here and raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing for young people.
