Hello, world! We’re States of Mind. We are a new and passionate team working with young people to create a better future for mental health. We asked hundreds of young people what it would look like if we reimagined our society’s approach to mental health. Our approach is designed around their answers, and fueled by a desire to make psychological theory and practice accessible in a new way, for young people everywhere. We are looking forward to sharing this journey with you as it unfolds.
