Introducing the Mental Health Hub

We know that navigating life as a care leaver can come with unique challenges and looking after your mental health is a big part of that. That’s why we’re proud to announce a new feature on our Care Leaver Apps: the Mental Health Hub, developed in partnership with The Mix, the UK’s leading digital charity for 16–25-year-olds. 

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just want to better understand your thoughts and emotions, the Mental Health Hub is here. Right at your fingertips, 24/7. 

What Is the Mental Health Hub? 

It’s a dedicated space within our Care Leaver Apps where young people can explore over 100 articles on key mental health topics, including: 

• Anxiety 
• Depression 
• Stress 
• Self-esteem 
• Eating disorders 
• And much more 

All content is young-person-approved, and co-designed with the voices of real young people to ensure it's relevant, respectful, and easy to understand. 

Why It Matters 

Mental health support shouldn’t be confusing or hard to access. The Hub is designed to break down complex topics into clear, empowering advice, helping care leavers feel seen, supported, and confident in taking the next step, whatever that may be. 

As one of our partner clients from South Gloucestershire Council shared: 

“The Mental Health Hub will be a helpful online toolkit for young people to access via our Bridges App. It’s full of easy-to-understand resources that make learning about mental health feel less overwhelming. Whether you’re looking for support, tips, or just want to understand your feelings better, this toolkit will be a great place to start." 

Smart, Searchable and Always Evolving 

With a keyword search tool and annual updates from The Mix’s trusted team of advisors and practitioners, the Hub is more than just a static library. It’s a living, growing resource, tailored to the evolving needs of care leavers. 

Available Now 

The Mental Health Hub is already live on selected apps, including South Gloucestershire’s Bridges app and Camden’s Pocket PA and we're rolling it out across more local authorities in the coming months. 

By partnering with The Mix, we’re making sure that every care leaver has easy access to trusted mental health support: anytime, anywhere.
