CHUMS charity launches digital platform to support early intervention in children’s mental health

Silsoe-based CHUMS has developed a new platform to help support young people.

Mindjurny has been created to make emotional wellbeing information and support more accessible, helping young people, parents and carers take positive steps before difficulties become more challenging.

A spokesperson for the charity said: "We know that getting the right information and support at the right time can make a real difference. Mindjurny is about making emotional wellbeing support more accessible, helping children, young people and families find practical advice and resources before difficulties escalate."

Mindjurny provides a range of easy-to-access resources covering different emotional wellbeing topics, downloadable information, practical early strategies, recorded videos and other useful resources. The platform has been developed by people with experience and understanding of children's and young people's mental health and wellbeing.

Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on any digital device, Mindjurny offers families the flexibility to explore information and resources in their own time, whether at home or alongside support in school.

The platform is also available to schools, with whole-school subscriptions starting from just £1 per pupil, helping make emotional wellbeing resources accessible to entire school communities. Family memberships are also available from £34.99 for six months.

By providing accessible, practical and preventative support, CHUMS hopes Mindjurny will help more children, young people and families feel informed, supported and confident in taking the first steps towards better emotional wellbeing.
