Step Up

A peer-led programme, created and delivered by young people aged 15-25 to support their peers with their mental health.

Step Up is a co-produced, peer-led programme providing a series of projects, created and delivered by young people aged 15-25 to support their peers with managing their mental health and reducing stigma.

By using young people as ‘experts by experience’, we create engaging content and workshops that matter and work to create an inclusive and open community among young people. 

Using simple tips and tricks to manage mental health, such as basic CBT tools we are able to give young people the practical skills to manage their mental health.
