Mission Statement
Julian Campbell Foundation’s goal is to improve the lives of young people through early intervention and promotion of mental health in educational establishments. We provide practical and emotional support to young people and their families through befriending and mentoring service in a person-centred way.
About This Cause
What is Julian Campbell Foundation? Why do we exist? Julian Campbell Foundation (JCF) is named in memory of my brother Julian. Intelligent, and very talented, he battled with bi polar disorder throughout his life. Due to his struggles, ten years ago, Julian took his own life. I started thinking of all the things that if they were available for him, would have changed the outcome of his life. Also, as an ex school teacher, I knew that schools would be the best place to start! So, my question for everything was, what would Julian have thought? Would it have made a difference to him? Prevention is the key!! We do this by showing young people and those around them how to identify mood and how to shift it when you're feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. This way, they can manage their mood for the rest of their lives. To promote the importance of this, we started a youth wellbeing movement on World Mental Health day 10th October, where we will promote the importance of young people leading lives that inspire them. How else to we champion mental health? - We work in the community and train mentors (with an accredited level 3 NVQ course) who support young people in managing their wellbeing. - We do psycho drama workshops in schools. A fun way of getting an important message across about mental health management and raising levels of emotional intelligence. - We have a teacher training programme – contributes towards CPD (Continuing Professional Development) to help them identify and manage their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the children they teach.
