States of Mind: Transforming Your Mindset So You Can Live Life How You Want

States of Mind is a non-profit organization focused on transforming the intersection of education and youth mental health. Based in the United Kingdom, they facilitate collaborative projects between psychologists, educators, and young people to challenge existing paradigms of mental health and educational assessment. Their work emphasizes the importance of student voices and social justice in schools. Key initiatives include 'The School of Thought' and the 'Wellbeing Ambassadors Programme,' which empower students to design and lead innovations that improve school culture. States of Mind promotes a shift from clinical models of mental health toward psychosocial and trauma-informed approaches. By conducting research in London and other regions, they investigate the psychological impact of high-stakes testing and competitive school environments. The organization provides workshops, seminars, and a platform for critical inquiry into educational practices. Their mission is to create a more compassionate and inclusive system that supports the holistic development of all students. States of Mind works alongside young people to ensure their views and ideas are a driving force for systemic change, helping them find meaning in suffering and build healthy identities.
