Welcome to the You Matter campaign, a mental health initiative created specifically for the students of Todmorden High School. We understand that mental health is a crucial aspect of a student's well-being, and we want to ensure that every student feels supported and empowered to take care of their mental health.

The You Matter campaign is all about promoting mental health awareness, reducing stigma, and providing resources and tools to help students cope with the challenges they may face. Through a variety of events and activities, we aim to create a safe and supportive environment where students can feel comfortable discussing their mental health and seeking help if needed.

Our team is made up of passionate and dedicated individuals who are committed to making a positive impact on the mental health of our school community. Whether it's through workshops, peer support, or online resources, we are here to provide the guidance and support that students need to take care of their mental health.

Remember, You Matter. Your mental health matters. And we are here to help. Join us in our mission to prioritise mental health and create a more supportive and inclusive school community.
