#SpeakUp small grants 2018-19 - STAMP

STAMP is a Sheffield based group of young people aged 14-25 years old, the majority of whom have accessed mental health services before. They used their #SpeakUp Grant to give young people the opportunity to talk about their experiences.

Our #SpeakUp small grants scheme awards funding to local community, voluntary, or not-for-profit groups, enabling them to engage with their communities about what matters to them.

Throughout all the recommendations the top three, recurrent themes were:

  • Appropriate education and learning opportunities about mental health should start from an earlier age, focusing on areas to prevent mental health problems from developing in the first place
  • Training for all frontline staff on mental health first aid and mental health conditions should be in place
  • Provide information and support for parents, carers and friends
