THE MIX - ESSENTIAL SUPPORT FOR UNDER 25'S

The Mix is here to support and campaign for young people under 25.  We are here to help with anything that is affecting you.

• Sex and relationships
• Your body
• Mental health
• Drink & drugs
• Housing
• Money
• Work & study
• Crime & safety
• Travel & lifestyle

We’ll connect you to experts and your peers who’ll give you the support and tools you need to take on any challenge you’re facing.

We have: - Group chats, that include a support chat where you can talk about anything that's on your mind. A judgement-free zone to get and give advice within a group.  General chat is a light-hearted chat for fun, distraction and a chance to unwind.

Support Circle - A small group chat for no more than 5 people. Take it in turns to get support about whatever is on your mind or sign up as a listener if you enjoy helping others. To find out more and sign up for a place, click here.

Young Carer's Chat - Chat online to other young carers and find support from a community that understands what you’re going through. If caring for someone is a part of your everyday life, you might not think of yourself as a carer, or you might be unsure whether you are one. Use our online tool to find out and come along to our group chat.
