We are excited to announce that we are taking the move to merge our partner charity The Mix, with Mental Health Innovations, in order to strengthen our early intervention offer for young people.
It has always been our charity’s ambition to expand the reach of support we can give to people across the UK through provision of digital products and services and this merger is an important and significant step towards delivery of our mission.
The Mix Charity is a digital charity for under 25s, with whom we’ve partnered since Shout UK’s launch in 2018. They provide a holistic service of free advice, information and support, reaching over five million young people online each year via social media, web content, peer support and counselling services. They deliver their work with the help of experts and more than 1,000 young people in co-design, volunteering and governance roles.
Mental Health Innovations’ pathway for young people will expand to focus on early intervention through an online support community, discussion boards and online resources, augmenting Shout’s 24/7 text messaging support, which operates for people of all ages. We will be able to offer more volunteering opportunities that enable young people to directly contribute to supporting their peers.
We also plan to develop a series of exciting new products including self-paced learning modules, single-session counselling interventions, growth of the chatbot offering and peer led 121 interventions. These will be co-created with our community of young people.
