We are a multi-agency alliance of professionals and young people across Bath & North East Somerset and beyond, including representatives from the Local Authority, Public Health, CAMHS, schools, voluntary agencies, parents & carers, fostering services, school nurses and many others. We are also working with arts organisations such as the Holburne Museum Education Department , who are part of our alliance and use arts-based programmes to reduce stigma, challenge stereotypes and engage boys and young men.

One of our principles is to have men leading the strategy as they are hugely under-represented in the field of mental health and wellbeing and we want our message to be that mental health and wellbeing are as important to men as they are to women.

Young people, mainly boys and young men but also girls and young women, are actively involved in all aspects of our work. They help us with applications for funding, support us at training events, make films, help us develop other resources, speak at conferences and drive our work by telling their stories, identifying good practice and suggesting different approaches. They have also helped develop the logo and the website and to plan the film launch.
