Tellmi is proud to have contributed to First Steps ED's new autumn campaign, "Scroll Safe," which focuses on the impact that online content can have on young people's mental health and body image.

The Whole School Approach to mental health involves the entire school community – students, staff, parents, Tellmi and the wider community – working together to promote and support positive mental wellbeing.

The future of youth mental health lies in scalable, peer-led, tech-enabled support networks; solutions that are not only cost-effective but also deeply human.

Co-created with autistic young people, ‘A’ by Tellmi is a new digital mental health service aimed specifically at young people who are waiting for an autism diagnosis.

Working with human-centred design agency Mima, Oxfordshire NHS and a cohort of unemployed people, Tellmi will design, develop and deliver a scalable, easy-to-access and personalised support service to support people with mental health challenges that make it harder for them to get jobs.

The Tellmi app is a powerful tool for supporting students experiencing Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA). Tellmi have also designed a series of physical resources to assist school leaders in supporting students who are persistently absent from school.

Anonymity and pre-moderation protect Tellmi’s users from becoming victims of grooming, ensuring it is a safe digital space for children and young people to seek mental health support. 

In July 2023 the Tellmi Mental Health Service was commissioned by Berkshire West ICB to provide digital peer and counsellor intervention to young people in Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire aged 11 - 17.

This year, the Tellmi Annual Impact Survey explored how people seek support for their mental health. More than 1,200 Tellmi users responded to the survey and 95% of them told us that they struggled to find support for their mental health.

In response to research that revealed young people with diabetes are not getting the support that they need for their mental health, Tellmi has launched a new specialist diabetes support solution.  

Tellmi has been commissioned to provide digital emotional well-being support for young people in Lewisham. Alongside the support from Tellmi’s ever-growing community, Tellmi will offer free text-based solution focused therapy.

The unprecedented rise in mental health disorders in young people is putting enormous pressure on NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Tellmi is successfully helping to reduce this burden.

The escalation in issues around body image and eating difficulties in children and young people has increased stress and anxiety for adults too. Successful early intervention needs to catch the unhelpful thinking that precedes unhealthy behaviours.

To find out more about common concerns around the transition to secondary school, Tellmi talked to Year 7 students at Ansford Academy in Somerset. In this heartwarming little film, Harry, Darcey, Enya, Grace, Mia, Olivia, Noah and Taisy-Lily talk about getting lost, being late, making new friends, and finding themselves at the ‘bottom of the food chain’ again.

The Tellmi mental health service has been commissioned by the NHS Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland Integrated Care Board for five years to widen access to local mental health services for anyone aged 11+.

Tellmi has been commissioned by The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames for young people aged 11+. Tellmi’s unique mix of pre-moderated peer support and preemptive counsellor intervention makes it easy for young people to access the appropriate level of support.

Tellmi is delighted to announce that, alongside NHS Somerset, we have been named runner-up of the Best Mental Health Partnership with the NHS category, in recognition of outstanding dedication to improving healthcare and effective collaboration with the NHS.

Tellmi is one of five successful digital healthcare innovators who will be taking part in the 2024 East Midlands Digital Health Accelerator programme.

Tellmi believes that the only way to deliver wraparound mental health support at scale is to work collaboratively with young people and the organisations that support them.
