Unemployment is difficult at any age but can be especially devastating to young people who are just finding their footing in their careers. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re taking a closer look at the delicate relationship between work and wellbeing. 💼 🧠

But this isn’t just something we’re focusing on in the month of May. The interplay between youth unemployment and mental health is why The King’s Trust USA currently focuses its efforts across five U.S. cities that collectively have a youth unemployment rate of 16%, higher than the national average of 9.6%.

Through programs like the Enterprise Challenge and Get Hired, we’re helping them build the confidence to live, learn, and earn. For more insights about youth mental health and employment, read The King’s Trust TK Maxx Youth Index 2025: https://lnkd.in/ep6GaNNi
