Muslim Mind Collaborative

Mental health support in schools cannot be one-size-fits-all.

Across Luton, young people told us they were feeling overwhelmed, navigating exam pressure, identity, expectations and social media, often without the tools or language to manage it.

Resilient Minds was built in response to this.

Co-designed with students and embedded into the curriculum, the programme reached over 2,200 young people across two secondary schools, shifting how mental health is understood, talked about and supported.

As one student shared:
“I know I’m stressed, but I don’t know how to fix it.”

Today, more young people are saying:
“Mental health is how you think, feel and act.”

We’re now building on this work through a student-led social media campaign, launching for World Mental Health Day 2026, creating a platform for young people to shape the conversation and influence change.
