Support WYC
Support WYC and children and young people’s mental health in Winchester
There is a youth mental health crisis.
More young people are struggling with their mental health than ever before and statutory mental health services cannot keep up with the demand.
The number of children in contact with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) has increased fourfold since April 2016. (British Medical Association, 2023).
Your support will enable us to develop our services and help more local children and young people struggling with their mental health.
By helping children and young people now, you will be enabling them to thrive and live happier lives, now and into adulthood.
