Everyone deserves someone they can open up to
When you’re struggling with your mental health or find day-to-day life is taking its toll, being around people who don't accept you for who you are can hinder you from accepting yourself and becoming the person you want to be. You need a safe space where you can work on overcoming your individual challenges with a community of like-minded people who will welcome any feelings or experiences you'd like to share.
Rain On Me is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) – a not for profit organisation that invests all funds generated by our services back into supporting young people. Your financial support will enable us to reach out to more young people who find themselves isolated by their mental health challenges. We are grateful for all contributions, no matter how modest.

This is for all our support group members and our online community, here at Rain On Me, we’ve got your back. ❤️
Send this to someone to remind them you’re there for them if they need you.💪🏼✨
There’s enough space for all of us in this world. My values or way of being is not superior to anyone else’s and vice versa. Live and let live. 🙏🏼✨
I don’t expect everyone to understand my hardships or agree with my views. But the effort to be there for me regardless is what matters to me the most. To the people who have shown me unconditional support, thank you ❤️
Send this to someone in your life that tries.✨
It’s not always going to be fun or easy.
Sometimes you just have to focus on your long-term goals instead of thinking about your short-term discomfort.
Needed to hear these words for myself today so I thought I’d share it for anyone else who may feeling the same. 🙏🏼💕
Sometimes I get so comfortable in my misery that I can’t even accept the solutions in front of me. 🙈 Can you relate?

My needs are my responsibility. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate when others look out for my needs.
Most of the time I’m quick to notice when I’m not receiving what I need from people around me. But what am I doing to also support them back?
Here are some I thought of-
-Randomly checking in if I haven’t heard from them in a while
-words of encouragement
-give them a listening ear when they’re feeling down, offer them my full attention
-giving them space when they need it
Such questions help me raise my self-awareness and appreciate my efforts towards others. But it also shows me ways in which I need to improve.
Join our fortnightly International Support Meetings or our monthly in-person meetings in London. We’ll accept you as you are.✨

Supporting and empowering young people to overcome daily stress and mental health struggles
There’s nothing worse than not being able to express who you really are and what’s troubling you. That’s why Rain On Me offers a safe, confidential space for young people all over the world to speak freely and explore their own personal development. We provide free peer support meetings, low-cost befriending sessions and workshops where young people can share how they feel without fear of consequence and can learn to build resilience. We use therapeutic arts to enable freedom of expression and raise self awareness, because finding the right words to reflect how we feel isn’t always easy. The arts build empathy within us and allow us to connect on a deeper level.
We offer the following services:
Virtual and face-to-face
peer support meetings
Our groups provide an easy-to-access non-medical safe space for young people who wish to ease their mental distress or work on their self growth. Everyone is welcome, you don't need to be diagnosed with anything to attend.
While we have doctors and mental health professionals on our advisory board to guide our team, there’s no one telling you what to do or say.
Groups are facilitated by someone with lived experience of mental health challenges. Our virtual groups welcome young people globally. Our face-to-face groups welcome young people from across London and the South East.
All our support meetings
are free to attend
Private
befriending service
Rain On Me also offers a private befriending service for young people who feel too anxious to share in a group setting right now or just need a friendly face to turn to.
We support you on your terms, in 1-2-1 sessions, always tailored to what feels right for you. It could be a walk in the park, a companion at the cinema or even someone to sit with in a café and spend some time sketching with.
You can use our time in whatever way feels comfortable to you and know you have someone who you can speak freely with who will listen to you with empathy and without judgment.
There is a small charge
for our befriending service
Painful experiences and ill mental health can have a lifelong impact. At Rain On Me, we work together to build resilience and self-compassion.
At Rain On Me you can expect:
No expectation
of commitment
There is never any pressure to attend regularly, although those that do enjoy the greatest benefit.
No
judgement
We all understand what it’s like to struggle with your mental health and feel misunderstood.
No
pretence
This is a safe space to be authentic, vulnerable, true to your feelings and discover who you want to be.
Rain On Me also delivers a range of interventions to schools, colleges, universities and youth groups that we shape to your needs. We offer assembly presentations and webinars and run person-centred support sessions and workshops, which help young people build the resilience they need to take ownership of their lives. Our free trial sessions are a great introduction to how Rain On Me can support your organisation.
