Princess perspective is a online store of personalized goods, where all profit made goes to various mental health charity across the UK.Goods will soon be stocked and and handmade in T shirts and hoodies size 6-20.The princess perspective campaign was founded in January 2020 and began as an Instagram account spreading awareness and positive messages, however as the covid-19 outbreak worsened and everyone has had to isolate, we realized that this will have a detrimental effect on many peoples mental health and wanted to help out mental health charity's that support so many people when they need it the most.
One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. We believe that mental health support is severely underfunded and we want to make a difference.
why we feel so strongly about mental health support
Mental health is a big issue for young people…
- 1 in 8 children have a diagnosable mental health disorder – that’s roughly 3 children in every classroom.
- 1 in 6 young people aged 16-24 has symptoms of a common mental disorder such as depression or an anxiety disorder.
- Half of all mental health problems manifest by the age of 14, with 75% by age 24 .
- In 2017, suicide was the most common cause of death for both boys (16.2% of all deaths) and girls (13.3%) aged between 5 and 19
- Nearly half of 17-19 year olds with a diagnosable mental health disorder has self-harmed or attempted suicide at some point, rising to 52.7% for young women
Raising money for mental health charity's help all effected by mental health get the support they need. As more people are speaking out about their mental health support services are under a lot of strain and are severely underfunded.
