Skydive for YoungMinds
In September I will be completing a 15,000ft Skydive (eeeeek) for YoungMinds. YoungMinds is a charity close to my heart, as for the last couple of years I have watched my younger brother battle with his own mental health issues. As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety from a very young age, the only thing worse than going through it yourself, is watching someone you love go through it.
Can you imagine being 12/13 years old and suffering to the point that you wonder if life is even worth living anymore? This is something no child should ever have to struggle with.
The support available to children suffering with their mental health is very limited and YoungMinds work extremely hard to ensure that children and young people have access to mental health support, and help their parents to understand how best to support them.
Someone close to you might be suffering with mental health issues and feel unable to speak up for a variety of reasons. Young Minds can offer them the support that might just save their life.
Thank you for reading and any donations are hugely appreciated.
