Enhancing the mental health of young people by improving the translation of scientific research into practice.
About us
The William Templeton Foundation for Young People’s Mental Health (YPMH) is a charitable foundation working to improve the lives of young people by facilitating innovative approaches to resolve mental health conditions. YPMH was established in memory of Will Templeton, by his parents Anne and Peter, and his brother John. The family’s aspiration is to enable the ‘joining-up’ of excellent research and practice across the many fields associated with young people’s mental health to improve the prevention, identification, diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. Our mission is to: - Reduce the number of young people who experience mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety; - Help young people enter adulthood with greater resilience to mental health conditions; and thereby - Reduce the number of young people who take their own lives. We strive to help build a future where: - The pathways and mechanisms of key mental health disorders, especially depression and anxiety, are understood and widely applied to innovations in practice and policy. - Knowledge and skills for protecting and nurturing mental health are available to young people and their families and carers, and to practitioners. - Healthcare policy and practice address the “whole self” at the earliest appropriate points in the development of mental health conditions. We are doing this by working with people and organisations from across the mental health ecosystem to accelerate the translation of research into innovations in practice and policy.

Is the thought of heading back to university or starting a post-grad job keeping you up at night? While both diet and sleep are complex, certain foods can help promote a better night's sleep and prepare you for this new chapter. Kiwis: Green kiwis are packed with vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, that can improve sleep quality. Their antioxidant properties help reduce chronic inflammation, potentially aiding in better rest. Oily fish: Rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, fatty fish can help regulate serotonin, a key hormone for sleep. Almonds: Nuts like almonds, walnuts, and cashews contain melatonin, omega-3s, zinc, and magnesium, all of which contribute to better sleep. Turkey: High in tryptophan, an amino acid that boosts serotonin and melatonin production, turkey can have a drowsiness-inducing effect. Chamomile tea: This tea is loaded with flavones, antioxidants that reduce inflammation, and apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to brain receptors to promote sleepiness. Incorporate these foods into your diet to improve your sleep as you embark on this exciting new journey. Prioritise your wellbeing to ensure you're rested and ready to take on the challenges ahead. #BackToUniversity #NewJob #BetterSleep #HealthyEating #SleepWell #Nutrition #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance

Curious about the link between #mentalhealth and #sleep? 🛌 The two are deeply connected. Mental health challenges can disrupt your sleep, and poor sleep can worsen mental health, creating a negative feedback loop. Research shows that around 75% of people with depression experience insomnia, while many others suffer from hypersomnia, or excessive sleeping. Common experiences include: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up earlier than desired Sleep disturbances from nightmares or panic attacks Trouble waking up or getting out of bed Feeling constantly tired or sleepy Sleeping excessively Here are steps to promote healthier sleep habits: Steps towards healthier sleep habits: 🌙 Set a consistent bedtime and sleep schedule 🧘♀️ Wind down with relaxation techniques before bed 🚫 Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine in the evening 📵 Dim lights and put away electronic devices an hour before bed 🏃♂️ Get regular exercise and natural light exposure during the day 🛏️ Ensure your mattress, pillows, and bedding provide comfort and support 🕶️ Block out excess light and noise Finding the right sleep routine might take some trial and error, but the effort can lead to better sleep and improved mental health. 🌟 #MentalHealth #BetterSleep #HealthyHabits #SleepHabits #YPMH

🧹 Did you know? Research suggests that daily physical activity, including non-traditional forms like #gardening and #housework, correlates with reduced psychological distress. Embracing activities that resonate with personal interests and routines is key to maintaining a healthy balance. Great news for those who’d rather tend to their garden than go for a morning run!🌻 To find out more about the benefits of physical activity for our mental wellbeing visit: https://lnkd.in/eDEdDTfV #MentalHealth #PhysicalActivity #Wellbeing

Struggling to wake up feeling refreshed and energised? It's time to master the art of sleep hygiene for a boost in both your physical and mental wellbeing! 💤 Sleep hygiene involves adopting healthy sleep habits that ensure a good night's rest. Difficulty falling asleep, frequent sleep disturbances, and daytime sleepiness are indicators of poor sleep hygiene. But what does this mean for our mental health? 🧠 Sleep stages influence brain activity, and research highlights the significant impact of this activity on our mental health. Enhancing your sleep hygiene can significantly improve your mental wellbeing. Consistent sleep schedules, regular exercise, exposure to natural light during the day, and reducing screen time an hour before bed are all steps toward healthier sleep habits. 😴 Learn more about the importance of sleep hygiene and its connection to mental health: https://lnkd.in/dhNMEk5B #SleepHygiene #MentalWellbeing #SleepBetter #SleepHabits #SleepRoutine #YPMH

Has exercised improved your #mentalhealth? While exercise releases 'feel-good' hormones like endorphins, there’s much more to it. Here's why movement matters: 🧘♀️Reduces stress & mental fatigue: Exercise lowers night-time cortisol levels, reducing stress and improving mental clarity. 🏆A sense of achievement: Completing a workout or mastering a new skill enhances self-esteem and confidence. 🔥Reduces chronic inflammation: Regular physical activity decreases chronic inflammation, which is linked to improved mood and reduced depression. 🧠Promotes neuroplasticity: Exercise increases Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), enhancing brain function and resilience against mental health issues. 😴Enhances sleep quality: Physical activity helps regulate circadian rhythms, leading to more restful and restorative sleep. 🎉Provides enjoyment and fun: Engaging in enjoyable activities stimulates dopamine release, boosting pleasure and motivation. Incorporating physical activity into our daily routines can amplify these mental health benefits. Moreover, combining exercise with exposure to nature and social interactions can further enhance these positive effects. We're interested in hearing your experiences. How does movement impact your mental health and which activities do you find most beneficial? #movementformentalhealth #youngpeoplesmentalhealth #YPMH
