“I have been attending these online support meetings since the start of COVID and it’s really helped me keep in touch with other people and manage my anxiety better. I feel less alone and actually notice growth in me. Having these meetings made lockdown so much easier to handle.”

How Rain On Me was born, from our founder

Rain On Me was founded from an acute understanding of how difficult life can be living with mental health struggles as a young person.

I spent most of my childhood in a state of anxiety. My mind wouldn’t switch off. I constantly worried what others would think of me. At night I was afraid to be alone with my demons and could only rest once I knew my parents were awake. Eventually I reached rock bottom, exhausted by my condition.

I was diagnosed with OCD, ADHD, general anxiety disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. But my healing truly came not from the professional help or medication I received - it came when I found a way to share my thoughts with like-minded young people. Once a fortnight I set up a room in East London inviting other young people in the same situation to come along and have the freedom to talk openly in a safe space. Gradually, they came. And returned. Together we were able to put an end to the excrutiating sense of isolation that had consumed us.

From that humble beginning Rain On Me has evolved into an international support hub for young people around the world to check in and vent their thoughts without risk of judgement or consequence. Our journey is ongoing, and ambitious. Please join us on it.

Our mission

  • To give access to as many participants as possible by expanding our groups both face to face and online.
  • To relieve the pressure on public health services such as the NHS, by allowing individuals with mental health struggles to find support in a community-based initiative.
  • To build a safe, non-judgemental space where people can vent about their challenges, feel less alone and more understood.
  • To help minimise stigma and discrimination by normalising mental health struggles and empowering individuals to do good for themselves and others.

There is no pressure to attend each and every session. I have only been to one session and it has helped me so much. It made me feel better to know that I am not struggling alone and there are people who understand me.

Rainonme helped me through a very difficult time and has helped improve my confidence tremendously. The sessions were well constructed and thought through in a very trusted and private space.
