Mission

Nichols Education is a non-profit social enterprise dedicated to improving mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people. We are a new, innovative approach to providing specialist character education services to schools. Research shows that 25% of adults develop a mental health disorder with 75% of these problems starting before the age of 18. This costs the UK economy £105bn per year. By identifying the 10% of young people who have a mental heath disorder, and the additional 15% who are at higher risk of developing one, we can intervene early to prevent this.

Additional Information

Our non-profit social enterprise will provide emotional resilience and metacognitive training programmes to young people in schools to identify those at risk and promote mental health and wellbeing. Our ambition is to create a national organisation that will recruit and train professionals to deliver highly effective character education in schools across the UK, for a low cost, that schools could not deliver themselves. Such services have the potential to be the most cost-effective way to prevent and deal with mental health in the long term.
