At YoungMinds, we know how important it is to hear stories from those who’ve been through the same thing. That’s why we give young people the opportunity to put their experiences in writing and online. We want to share their stories with others to help build a future where no young person feels alone with their mental health.
Take a look at some of the stories, blogs and zines, created by some of our writers.
Our latest blogs
The YoungMinds blog is a place where young people can share their experiences, give tips and advice, and use their voice to support others who may be going through a difficult time with their mental health. Take a look at some of our most recent blogs.
The Writers Programme zine
Every year, the participants on our Writers Programme work towards creating a zine full of stories, creative writing pieces, imagery, and illustrations.
Created by the young people on our Writers Programme 2022-23, our most recent zine is titled ‘This is Our Story’. The group worked together to plan, write and design this zine, and their contributions include blogs, poetry, interviews, photography and illustrations.
You can browse through the zine below, or view a plain text version.
If you would like to receive a physical copy of the zine, you can request one via the form below.
