Meet Our Team!

I’m Jasmin and I am the lead for the Midlands Young Advisors. I had the pleasure of working with the team back in 2018 where we devised the first ever Let’s Get Mental Conference. It’s great to see all the team has achieved since then and the great work they are doing now. As the YA lead, I support the team to work towards their vision and organise our work commitments.

Hi, I’m Mel. I’m one of the Senior Young Advisors, helping to take a lead during meetings, events, and supporting our Young Advisors when they are completing work.

My passion around mental health came about after my own personal battles struggling with my mental health and being admitted to a CAMHS inpatient unit. I had both positive and negative experiences with child and adolescents mental health services which gave me the desire to make a positive change so future patients will not go through the suffering and dismissal I went through.

Hi, I’m Michelle. I take the lead with many of our team’s creative endeavours while also engaging in our vital work within CYP mental health participation. Having recently graduated from the University of Nottingham in American and Canadian Studies, I dedicate all of my spirit to our team. Knowing my own and hearing others pour out their lived experience motivates me in this role.

Hi, I am Tobias, I have been a Young Advisor since 2024 and am also a medical student. As part of the team, I get involved with a bit of everything, I am currently doing my leadership qualification as well as delivering teaching and creating social media posts. My favourite part is delivering teaching, speaking and supporting services.

Hi, I’m Leela. I joined the Young Advisors in 2022 because I want to improve mental health support for young people, and joining the team was an excellent opportunity to get involved in work that makes positive changes to real people’s lives.
