If you want help now, but don’t want to take part in a study, you can access one of the above SSIs, or there is other help available below.
The three SSIs which you can access above were developed by the Lab for Scalable Mental Health (Northwestern University) in the USA and widely tested there for young people. We have adapted their SSIs on the advice of young people in the UK and have found that they are safe and helpful here. We are continuing to test them. You can also access the US versions of these and other SSIs via Project YES below.
If you aren’t looking for an SSI, you can access other types of support, information and advice via Kooth, Young Minds and many other sources listed on our Mental Health Resource List below.
YoungMinds contains a wealth of information to help understand your feelings, and advice and support on how to get professional help.
