Mental Health

With one in five young people aged 16–24 experiencing a mental health issue, the AfC Virtual College recognises how vital a healthy, happy mind is to a young person’s success—as well as to those around them.

We are committed to ensuring that every young person has access to the tools, strategies and support they need to thrive.


Our Mental Health Support Includes:

  • One-to-one advice and guidance from a dedicated member of staff

  • Tailored strategies to prevent and manage mental health challenges—designed for young people, carers, schools, and workplaces

  • Workshops and training on wellbeing and resilience

  • Extra-curricular opportunities to encourage engagement and connection

  • Access to external programmes that offer specialist support
