Helping young people face mental health challenges together
Leading the way in adolescent mental health
The Brent Centre for Young People is a leading mental health charity. Each year we provide vital support to over 800 young people in London struggling with a wide range of challenges.
Last year we helped over 800 young people like Precious
Precious was concerned about her safety, but kept this from her family and friends, who she felt neglected her. As a model student at school, Precious had been selected as head girl, but Covid-19 lockdowns had exacerbated her struggles, as she suffered from extreme fatigue and debilitating anxiety.
The Brent Centre is a pillar of support for young people in our community
