About us

Founded in 1984 by Dr Christine Baksi, the Isle of Wight Youth Trust has a long history of supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people on the Isle of Wight.

We believe that although life can be hard but accessing support shouldn’t be.

Our vision is for an Island where children and young people’s mental health needs are well recognised and supported.

We listen to, and work with, young islanders and their families so they can get the help they need, when they need it.  Through the provision of wellbeing support and counselling therapy we support the mental health, and emotional wellbeing of children aged 4-25.
