About Us
BAYO (BY-OH ) of Yoruba origin – meaning joy has
found us.
Using creativity to support and promote mental health and well being.
Creative Health
Every journey begins with a simple but powerful question: “What brings you joy?”
This question reflects our asset-based approach that focuses on the strengths, interests and aspirations of young people to shift power back to the individual and affirm their identity beyond their struggles.
Community Engagement
We collaborate with community groups, colleges, academia, healthcare, national organisations and the arts across England, Scotland and Wales to directly benefit the mental health and wellbeing of young Black people under the age of 35.
Some of the areas we engage with:
- Grief & Loss
- Suicide prevention & liveability
- Embodiment and healing.
- Partnership building
- Networking
- Campaigning and
- Peer Research
We also maintain an online platform that connects young people with a wide range of support organisations.
