About us

Since our creation in 1997, we have become one of the UK’s most respected mental health charities.

We are one the UK’s most respected mental health charities, founded by the family of Charlie Waller, who died by suicide in 1997 whilst suffering from depression.

We provide mental health training and resources with a focus on children and young people. We equip parents, carers, teachers and communities with the best and latest evidence-based strategies. We give them the knowledge and confidence to help young people thrive.

Empowering those who support children and young people is at the heart of our work. We want to ensure that no one feels alone on that journey.
