Reaching all young people who are struggling with their mental health is still a challenge. Mental Health Support Teams are not yet available in all schools, and digital tools are often commissioned but engagement can be low. Groups of under-represented young people have unequal access to support meaning their needs are not being met. On The Level is an effective means to empower and equip young people with vital knowledge and effective tools to manage their Mental Health and access further NHS commissioned support. We can help you reach young people at scale and pace in a highly engaging and accessible way.
