We thought we’d do a little recap of why COMICS YOUTH COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY exists, what we do, and how you can join our chaotic tribe ✨✨ We set up CY in 2015 as a response to being young people who felt they were drowning in today’s society and had no where to go/needed a therapeutic and creative avenue of interest 🌻🌻🌻 I cant even put into words how full of love and pride I am about how passionate and inspirational each and every one of our young people, staff and volunteers are. What we need are: shorter waiting times, more mental health nurses, more mental health support in schools and workplaces (mental health first aiders), more public awareness programs, and an understanding that EVERYTHING is a mental health issue. How we work, learn and live....especially for young people poorly served by their communities needs addressing now! 🌟🌻🌈 It’s okay to not be okay. Start the conversation, break down that barrier, remove the stigma. It’s not a sign of weakness and your vulnerability holds great power, we love you all! 💕👏👏

Dr. Rahil Briggs captures the essence of HealthySteps so succinctly here! We can't help babies unless we meet the needs of parents, where they are and when they're ready. Listen to this message and let us know how we can help!
There is a clear link between parental well-being and children’s mental health. The many stressors parents and caregivers face are being passed to children in direct and indirect ways, impacting families and communities across America. We can and must do a better job of supporting families. That’s where our HealthySteps program comes in. We meet families where they are -- the pediatrician's office -- with the support they want and deserve. Hear from Rahil Briggs, a child psychologist and our national director, about this innovative approach. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3XzNeMV

I love what Tim Barker is doing with Kooth Digital Health (United Kingdom). They are a £20m revenue Uk business with good growth and financial characteristics. And last year won a big contract competitively to deliver their service to the state of California. But that’s not the story…… so what’s the story? Profit with Purpose!!!! They have a greater social purpose, they “create a welcoming special for effective personalised digital mental health care. Accessible to all” - and not only in the UK, they recently won the contract to deliver this service in the state of California. From their 2022 annual report: “We offer rapid and responsive access to support without thresholds, stigma, or waiting lists, in a way that resonates with those in need of help. Our model is responding to a global mental health crisis which is driving long-term demand for digital mental health and is seeing significant ongoing funding commitments. Global mental health crisis The human and economic impact of poor mental health make for deeply concerning reading. In the US, 57% of teen girls feel persistently sad or hopeless. 22% of high school students seriously considered suicide in the past year. In the UK, latest statistics for 2021 show a record 4.3 million people were referred for mental health services, a rise of 15 percent from the previous year. In 2021, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy called for urgent action to transform access to mental health care for young people, calling it the 'defining public health crisis of our time.” Chapeau Tim! Much needed. Delighted and honoured that you are a Boardwave member. Other CEO members, what’s your “Purpose” and it’s probably not a return to shareholders. Or to grow your business, or make more money? Accelerated by the pandemic, todays talent want to work at businesses that have purpose and meaning. If it’s not a core value or part of your proposition it’s likely to be more challenging to hire and retain your teams. It doesn’t have to relate to your products, but should be integrated into your culture. We don’t exist in isolation to the communities we serve in 2024. That’s why we will be launching our #impactpartner programme on Feb 20th at our next big networking event. Be sure to register https://lnkd.in/gqnG5GPK

Important research on what cities can do for the mental health of young people!
Director of Culture and Wellbeing | Mental Health, Wellbeing, Inner Development | Mindfulness Advocate | Empowering Individuals & Organizations to Thrive
Big news from citiesRISE! We've teamed up with the University of Washington in Seattle to figure out what makes a city friendly for young people's mental health, and this work was published in Nature. This was a major effort where we worked with youth leaders, multiple research experts, funders and system leaders to design the Delphi, run it, analyze the data and write the paper together. The Delphi was carried out in over 50 countries. This sets the stage for our new initiative, Centered Cities(https://lnkd.in/ec5tqAHG) We're excited to use what we've learned to support mental health advocacy efforts through our various initiatives. If you are interested in promoting the mental health for young people, please check out this article. https://lnkd.in/eC_G95Ah
