Strong Young Minds is a Lottery funded project delivered by The CLD Trust. We're here to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Herefordshire, and we've been doing that since 2015.

The Strong Young Minds programme is for all young people (10 - 26 yrs) in Herefordshire.

We work with young people to address issues which can have a negative effect on their mental health and wellbeing - things like anxiety, depression, eating difficulties, self-harm, bullying, relationship breakdown, education & employment, low self-esteem, body image and loss.

Young people can be offered the opportunity for one-to-one support, brief intervention therapy, workshops and groups in addition to peer listening and support. And we have youth workers out and about in the community delivering activities aimed to promote the emotional resilience everyone needs to cope with stress and anxiety.

Perhaps you just fancy joining in with one of our campaigns on social media, or one of our exhibitions, and sharing your views and your talents.

The Strong Young Minds programme works with young people, their parents/carers and professionals and supports young people as Champions raising awareness of the importance of good mental health in their communities.

"I'm so grateful to We Are Farming Minds for giving me the support to get back on track. As a community, we need to be more aware of mental health and why it's ok not to be ok."

"The We Are Farming Minds Mental Health Awareness Workshop really opened my eyes. It gave me an insight into the scale of the problem, both in farming and wider society. I am now much more aware and have some basic tools and resources which could allow me to identify warning signs and help in the future. It was both informative and sensitively delivered"

"I look forward to the meetings. They mean a lot to me and make me feel a lot better. I benefit hugely from seeing other like-minded people"

"Seeing a counsellor has really helped me to overcome some of my issues.

It was good to be able to talk to someone impartial and I feel like Ive gained some control over my own thoughts and feeling again."
