Our latest blog shares simple ways parents, carers, and teachers can support young people’s mental wellbeing and know when extra help might be needed.

ā€œLived experience is key to this culture change, because we are the experts.ā€ – Teresa, carer and member of our Client Engagement Group

At MindWise, we believe the voices of those with lived experience must be at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just something we say, it shapes every decision we make.

As we begin to develop our next strategy for 2026–2031, this commitment continues. By listening, learning, and working side by side with people who know what it means to live with mental health challenges, we can make real and lasting change. 🌱

Together, we’re building a future where lived experience leads the way.
