No expectations
No judgement
No pretence
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.

When you feel like you’ve made very little or no progress this year, it can be difficult to feel worthy and or be proud of yourself. Join our support group to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements this year (no matter how small)! I personally think the fact that you’re still trying is in itself something to celebrate. 🤗
There’s no pressure to speak if you don’t want to, your presence and listening ear will be enough. 🙏🏼

Honoured to have represented @mqmentalhealth as an Ambassador at the @thelordmayorsappeal annual Impact Reception at Mansion House. Thank you MQ for trusting me with this responsibility. I’m also grateful to have had an opportunity to share more about my lived experience and Rain On Me and hear inspiring stories from @wecanbe_tlma #powerofinclusion #thisisme @national_numeracy and @dofeuk
The Lord Mayor`s Appeal is supporting MQ’s vital research and promoting societal resilience. If I had received mental health education as a child, if there was enough awareness in society, perhaps I could have supported myself better, or asked for help sooner. Partnerships like these encourage me to hope for a kinder, brighter future.
Go to the last photo to see my proud and ever-supportive parents. ❤️

Do I treat others the way I want to be treated?
As an example, Sometimes I expect others to be patient with me when I’m feeling irritated or angry but when it’s time for me to be understanding towards their frustrations I’m not always able to show the same compassion.
I know it’s much more complex than just this but it does make me wonder more about myself, what I need to work on and what expectations I need to manage.
Asking myself such questions helps me better my relationship with people I care about. 🧡

Come back to the present. 🙏🏼
I’ve been doomscrolling so much lately. Have to remind myself sometimes that I’m here, I exist.
But I also wonder.. why is it hard to stay in the present? What is it about the present that I find difficult?

Instead of ‘how are you?’, what if we asked- How’s your Mental Health?
The Sonder Project; a space where we connected with the public, who shared their thoughts and emotions with us, to understand that every passerby has a life as vivid as our own. And that no one is truly alone. 🙏🏼
We hope you find peace in hearing other people’s personal experiences and can resonate 💧✨

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.
Donations are appreciated
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.
Rediscover your inner strength
