Ditch the Label: dealing with mental health in the digital age

We may be emerging from the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, but with the pandemic came one of the greatest mental health crises this country has ever seen. Young people especially, found themselves in a situation that they never thought they would. Cut off from friends, education, family members and anything else that makes your teenage years what they are, we have never seen such rapid growth in reports of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts among young people. In this blog, Ditch the Label, an international youth charity supporting 12-25 year olds, shares their expertise on providing young people support on mental health issues.
