headspace CEO Jason Trethowan said, “We are very excited to be partnering with VICE and the opportunity this brings us to connect with their devoted audience to talk about a variety of topics surrounding youth mental health and wellbeing.”

With one in four young people experiencing a mental health issue before the age of 25, we hope this partnership will promote vital youth mental health awareness and literacy to young people, as well as supporting their friends and their families,” Mr Trethowan said.

“VICE has a platform for us to share deeply significant and meaningful topics affecting young people and their mental health. We want all young people to know that help is available, no matter where they are or what they might be going through.”
