Sign the petition to protect kids’ mental health
The Dove Self-Esteem Project is standing up to support youth mental health. We’re funding access to mental health resources and supporting organisations that are working to improve young people’s mental health and make social media safer at the design level.
In partnership with Maudsley Charity, Dove will fund Mental Health Facilities at the Pears Maudsley Centre for Children and Young People - a new facility that will protect the mental health of some of the UK’s most vulnerable young people experiencing anxiety, depression, self-harm, and eating disorders. The Maudsley Charity’s Change the Story campaign is supporting the work of the new Centre.
In partnership with Parenting Mental Health, Dove will make access to support services and advocates more accessible for parents whose kids are navigating mental health challenges. Together with Global Action Plan, 5Rights and Girlguiding, Dove will raise awareness of harmful features on social media to encourage new design standards that will make social media safer for kids.
If you are worried about your own or someone else’s mental health, text SHOUT to 85258 for free, confidential 24/7 support.
For eating disorder support or help finding treatment, contact Beat on 0808 801 0677 or beateatingdisorders.org.uk
