Centre for Mental Health’s Empowering Minds report commissioned by the Pilgrim Trust, evaluates the first three years of the Young Women in Mind Programme which offers targeted and tailored mental health support for young women across northern England and Northern Ireland. This report affirms that targeted, trauma informed mental health support for young women is both life changing and urgently needed. It demonstrates how projects which utilise an age appropriate, and gender informed approach are providing vital support to young women and breaking down barriers, they face in accessing the support they need.
