“Supporting the mental health of young people is a crucial aspect of ensuring their overall well-being. Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress can have a significant impact on a young person's life, affecting their school performance, relationships, and overall quality of life.
There are various ways in which young people can receive support for their mental health. One of the most important is through access to mental health professionals, such as therapists or counsellors. These professionals can provide young people with a safe and supportive space to discuss their feelings and develop coping strategies for managing their mental health issues.
Additionally, schools and community organisations can play a vital role in supporting young people's mental health. This can include providing mental health education, creating safe spaces for young people to express themselves, and offering resources and referrals to mental health professionals.
It is also important for parents and caregivers to be aware of their child's mental health and to seek support if needed. This can include talking with their child about their feelings, seeking out mental health resources, and modeling healthy coping strategies.
Overall, supporting the mental health of young people requires a collaborative effort from parents, caregivers, schools, and mental health professionals.
By prioritising mental health support for young people, we can help ensure that they have the resources and tools they need to lead happy and healthy lives”.
Our mission is to ensure that we provide mental health support in unique and diverse ways, so it is accessible to everyone!

Megan was a fun, lively vivacious child with the whole world ahead of her, but she was bullied, both verbally and online. Consequently, Meg suffered mental health issues, and at the tender age of just 14, not able to cope any longer, she took her own life. As parents we did not know any of this was happening, we were left utterly devastated beyond words. We have lived through the unimaginable, and do not ever want to see another parent have to go through this living nightmare. The Megan’s Starr Foundation was set up to help educate both children and parents about the dangers of bullying and its devastating effects.

Our Ethos of Kindness
We want to promote a shared conversation and response to Mental Health and Bullying in which everyone works together to create safe environments for young people.
By creating a kinder, more accepting, and more inclusive community, fewer young people will experience mental health issues, become less isolated, be willing to speak out and ask for help.
No one ever has to feel alone.
