Introduction Now more than ever, young people need support to access meaningful employment pathways.
Across the MtW network, we’re proud to have Youth Engagement Partners and Employers already breaking down barriers and supporting young people’s mental wellbeing.
In January 2025, we came together to share what’s working, exchange resources and experiences, and explore how we can do even more. Crucially, young people were part of this conversation and were invited to share what has made the biggest difference to their mental wellbeing. We also heard from partners who support young people with pre-employability skills, helping set them up for success.
This guide brings together the top tips from those rich discussions; the ideas that stood out as making the biggest difference and having the greatest impact on young people’s mental wellbeing.
We hope that you will find it an empowering tool that enables you to support the young people in your organisation in the best way you can.
