Throughout 2018 Can Anyone Hear Me? delivered a series of successful summits held in London providing young adults with a voice, presented in collaboration with an Advisory Panel. Each event highlighted the mental health challenges faced by young adults today with a programme of speakers passionate about making a difference, led by the people affected – Young Champions.

Record levels of young people are struggling with their mental health. Academic pressure, social media, bullying, poverty, lack of availability to professional mental health support – all have been named as contributing factors to the epidemic. It is clear, that many young people are still not getting the support they need. Key figures in a young person’s life – parent’s, family members, teachers, tutors, carers, youth workers, medical professionals – can often spot when a young person is struggling but may not know how best to help. These Summits offered the opportunity to hear directly from our Young Voices, talk to various charities, schools, colleges and universities, to share best practise and to be part of the conversation.
