A new survey shows 95 per cent of young people are struggling with their mental health. Only 10 per cent of young adults love themselves completely, reveals new research from Direct Line Insurance and mental health charity Mind.
Almost half of young adults (46 per cent) have felt low often or all the time. Despite support services being available, more than one in twenty young people said that they feel uncomfortable discussing their mental health with anyone, 10 per cent of 18-year-olds not willing to speak about the topic at all.
To highlight the link between music and a positive uplift in mood, Direct Line and Mind have worked with mental health advocate and London-based rapper Marc Jones, who has over five million music streams, to produce a new track, Day by Day, which encourages young people to be open about their mental health. It is free to download across all major streaming platforms for the month of April.
