Hello and welcome to Mind The Gap! 

This website has been designed to help both young people and parents of young people that have mental health problems/illnesses. 

There is a lot of talk about what we should refer to mental health illnesses as, should we say mental health well being, emotional well being, mental health illnesses. Call it what you want but it doesn't change the fact that if you become mentally unwell it can change your life ! 

I decided to set up this website in order to help young people and their parents with understanding what is happening and what may happen if a young person has a mental health issue. 

Im in no way a professional on the subject however i do have personal experience and have worked with young people and mental health. This is just someone who has gone through very dark times and have come out the other end !

You wont find on here signs symptoms or facts about mental health issues on here as this is not what the website is about,  however if you visit useful contacts you will find what you need on there.

If you are feeling alone and helpless right now then please believe me, you are not alone,  I was once in your shoes !
