Right Here Media Centre

Right Here is a groundbreaking 5-year project by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and the Mental Health Foundation.

We want to change the way in which the mental health of young people aged 16-25, 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.
