About Mind of the Student
At Mind of the Student, we believe every young person deserves to feel empowered to speak about their mental health, both in school and at home. We deliver a comprehensive, school-wide mental health programme and community-led services designed to equip young people with the knowledge, confidence, and skills they need to recognise and address their mental health needs.
Our programme goes beyond statutory requirements, supporting secondary schools in creating a culture where mental health and wellbeing are protected, prioritised, and promoted. Founded on lived experience, Mind of the Student was created by Co-Founders Kieran and Jaylan, who know firsthand the struggles of feeling unsupported and alone in school. Through this initiative, they strive to give young people the resilience and confidence to speak up about their mental health.
