My Story and Me: Get involved
Have your school, college, or organisation take part in a new trial intervention to support young women and girls and help drive mental health research.
What is My Story and Me?
One in three young women aged 17-19 experiences mental health difficulties.* Universal public mental health interventions can help young women to seek help earlier and prevent mental health problems from developing.
My Story and Me is a new preventative mental health intervention for young women and girls. It aims to empower young people by hearing real mental health stories from people like them and having a safe space to record their own story.
We welcome gender diversity in this project and use the terms ‘girl’ and ‘young woman’ inclusively. If your students feel this topic is relevant to them and want to take part in this project, then we welcome their views. We will respect your students’ gender.
How to get involved in the trial
Your school, college or community organisation will have shared a poster or video about My Story and Me. Please see the information sheet for more information.
