Key objectives

In the year ahead YoungMinds will both focus on building internal strength and maximising its external impact.

We will build our internal strength by:

  • Developing our infrastructure to ensure we are fit for purpose
  • Revising our financial and fundraising management systems
  • Increasing our income generation
  • Developing a programme of staff development to ensure YoungMinds has the resources and skills it needs to deliver its objectives

We will maximise our external impact by:

  • Working with regional and national government and other agencies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to assist their workforce and strategic effectiveness in achieving high quality CAMHS.
  • Exploring and delivering innovative ways of getting our messages across to raise levels of awareness and reduce stigma experienced by children and young people experiencing mental health problems.
  • Focussing on three key policy and practice issues needing a campaign of support for improvement and change.
  • Developing our website to extend support to children, young people, parents and families.
  • Extending our support to parents in particular fathers, and black, ethnic and minority parents, using innovative and experimental methods.
