At WHYSUP, we believe that educating young people on mental health & wellbeing can change the course of a young person’s life and build resilience from a young age.
That’s why we work directly with schools across the UK, delivering award-winning, lived-experience sessions that help students to understand themselves, their choices and better prepare them for the challenges they may face.
Our approach combines lived experience, practical guidance, and open discussion, creating a safe place where young people feel heard, informed and supported.
We’ve partnered with mainstream schools, alternative provisions/PRU’s, colleges and universities. We work with students, staff and parents, offering a range of interactive presentations, workshops and mentoring programmes to support PHSE guidelines.
WHYSUP supports young people to build a clear, age-appropriate understanding of mental health and emotional wellbeing. Our sessions encourage open conversation, reduce stigma and help students recognise when they or others may need support. For educators, this provides a safe framework for discussing mental health while reinforcing positive help-seeking behaviours.
Including gambling, ketamine, gaming, vaping and social media.
WHYSUP delivers balanced, non-judgemental education around habits, risk-taking and addictive behaviours. We explore why young people may turn to certain behaviours, the potential risks involved and how to make safer, more informed choices. Our approach supports safeguarding aims while creating an open environment where students feel able to ask questions and speak honestly.
We tailor our content to suit the age and needs of each group, ensuring that every session is engaging and meaningful.
Our goal is simple: to provide young people with the knowledge, confidence and tools they need to stay safe, make informed choices and look after their mental health – now and in the future.
