YOUNG PEOPLE GET SICK TOO
We are the voice of young people who are living with a chronic condition, terminal illness or mental health disorder. We want to raise awareness, improve diagnostic testing and screening, and most importantly shake off the label and stereotype that "you’re too young to be sick". The hope is that one day young people will be able to get the care that older people get when they are unwell, and that doctors will have a better understanding of what it can be like to go through health problems at a young age. We know that, unfortunately, young people get sick too, and this needs to be recognised so that we can get proper care.
OUR CAMPAIGN.....
OUR SUPPORT.......
We have created a support network, so that young people can talk to other young people in a similar situation, we have created survival guides on living with various health problems, and we have blogs and videos made by the young people who use our sites that tell people what it is like living with their condition. Many young people feel isolated and alone, and we have changed that through our Facebook group 'Young People Get Sick Too!’ We would love to spread the word, so as many people as possible can access that support and hopefully change the public perception of young people living with health problems.
Supporting young people 16-25
Together as a group we will make a change, so stand up and support eachother. JOIN US TODAY !!!!!
