WELCOME

Welcome to Project LYRIC 🤗🎶 
We are committed to improving young people's access to mental health support.

Did you know that mental health difficulties among young people have almost tripled in the last 10 years? About 40% of adolescents have high levels of distress, and mental health referrals have risen by 50%.

 

Unfortunately, there are not enough services to meet the demand, leaving loads of teens without the help they need. Young people are waiting up to a year for mental health care, and the longer they wait, the worse their mental health gets.

Here at Project LYRIC, we are working with young people to create a mental health program that Links Youth to Resources and Interim Care. We want to give young people evidence based mental health support while they wait for specialist support. But we need your help.

We need to make sure our mental health program works for young people. We need to make sure it's appealing, interesting, and useful. So, if you're a young person and you're waiting for mental health services or thinking about accessing mental health services, head to the research tab to learn more about how you can contribute.
