Most people struggling don’t look like it.

Mental health is often quiet, hidden behind “I’m fine” and getting on with the day.

At We Do, we create spaces for real conversations — no judgement, no fixing, just people.

If this made you pause, that’s enough to start.

We Do.
Community. Conversation. Support.

🧡Children’s Mental Health Week (9–15 Feb 2026) “This is My Place”

This week is all about supporting the mental wellbeing of young people, including , who often carry huge responsibilities.

The Junction Foundation works closely with young carers and sees first-hand the challenges they face.

Being a young carer can have a real impact on both mental and physical health. Many young people put their own needs aside while caring for someone else.
That’s why having time away from their caring role, a safe space to relax, and the chance to meet others who understand their situation can make such a positive difference.

This is exactly what The Junction provides - support, connection, and a break that helps young carers feel seen, valued, and supported 💛
