Each year, the day aims to get young people, and those who support them, talking about how to improve mental health. Get involved in this year’s Youth Mental Health Day (YMHD) and support stem4 in it’s mission to raise awareness and highlight the importance of early intervention in teenage mental health issues.

The theme for YMHD 2023 is #BeBrave

This year’s Youth Mental Health Day theme is #BeBrave. Whether it’s building confidence in facing difficult situations, building social confidence through learning to work together on team tasks, or learning to have the courage to fail by doing something new no matter what the outcome, being brave can mean something different to everyone.

By focusing on what it takes to be brave, #stem4YMHD hopes to give young people the courage and confidence they need to achieve their goals and ambitions, and be the best version of themselves they can be.
