The safety and wellbeing of young people is at the heart of what we do. Through this first hand account of one young person who uses Tellmi we look at how safeguarding is central to the way Tellmi works.

In this interview Dr Kerstyn Comley, co-founder of Tellmi, discusses some of the inspiration and challenges in developing the Tellmi app.

Rural isolation exacerbates mental health issues, but it is a barrier to mental health support for children and young people.

One in five young people now has a mental health problem, but the NHS is struggling to manage surging caseloads. We believe that young people deserve better, faster, access to support, so we’ve launched Tellmi Sponsorship.

Tellmi has successfully helped to provide access to mental health support for those at risk of health inequalities in the London Borough Of Greenwich.

Every year, Tellmi conducts an annual Tellmi Impact and Outcomes Survey. In 2022, 17% of the young people who responded were autistic. Since only 1.8% of young people in the population are autistic, we realised that this offered us a unique opportunity to do some research.

Tellmi has been commissioned by the NHS to offer mental health support and therapy to young people across Reading, Wokingham, and Berkshire West.

Research has highlighted the various benefits that peer support can offer to provide young people with the practical tools and space to discuss their mental health and improve their quality of life.

Encouraging involvement in school sports can help to address many of the common challenges that young people talk about with their peers on the Tellmi app.

In November 2022, Tellmi was commissioned by NHS Somerset to provide mental health support to young people.

The bill for young people’s mental health across the UK is a startling £118 billion per year. New research into Tellmi, showcases significant savings to the NHS.

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week was centred around the theme of ‘Anxiety’ and aimed to highlight the impact that anxiety can have on individuals and society as a whole.

A new report indicates that accessing support through Tellmi means young people are less reliant on NHS resources.

I am currently taking a gap year where I have chosen to work for an organisation that has an impact on young people's lives. Tellmi is an amazing anonymous app for young people who are suffering with Mental health and I highly recommend it.

Rates of mental health problems among the 700,000 children and young people in the UK who have been diagnosed with autism are extremely high.

Tellmi provides young people with a safe space to talk about financial concerns and get support and advice from other young people who have dealt with the same issues.

In the new Tellmi podcast, each month we interview a young person who has been impacted by mental health issues, and discuss their journey to recovery.

Tellmi is pleased to announce that we have been funded, by the Government's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) to develop the Tellmi app for autistic children and young people.

In September 2022, Tellmi collaborated with the advertising agency Dentsu to produce their first ever billboard advertising campaign.

Tellmi is working with specialist eating disorders charity First Steps ED to provide early intervention and recovery support for young people aged 11 - 25.
