For a relatively new organisation (it was founded only 10 years ago), Young Minds has already made a major impact on the CAMHS field. Its magazine contains lively articles by writers such as Susie Orbach and Adam Phillips and is widely read. It runs a well-used information service for parents concerned about the mental health of their children, and a consultancy service for professionals. High profile personalities such as Spike Milligan, John Bird, John Fortune and Nick Hornby have given their services to its fund-raising events. Who can take the major credit for the success of Young Minds? Stand up, Peter Wilson, the subject of this profile. He was initially Chair of the organisation and has been Director since April 1992.
