Rethink is the largest severe mental illness charity in the UK.

Talking about mental health can be really hard, especially if you're young. Website-based @ease www.rethink.org is a new mental health resource for all young people, and especially those who may feel stressed or worried about their thoughts and feelings.

Why young people need @ease

There is so much to cope with — exams, starting work for the first time, relationships, drugs, leaving home … At times it can be really stressful and this is when young people are vulnerable to becoming ill.

Many young people are frightened to ask for help because they don't understand what's happening to them. Often, they don't realise they are ill — only that something is wrong.

Knowing where to get the right information can be difficult, but with @ease it's easy. You can visit the site whenever you want, in private, and find out the facts at the touch of a button.
