Chartered clinical psychologist Dr Nihara Krause has been recognised with an MBE for her services to the mental health of young people.
Dr Krause, MBE, founder and CEO of youth mental health charity stem4, said:
"I feel very privileged to receive the honour of an MBE, and especially grateful for a further opportunity to talk about and support young people's mental health.
"Although I am very humbled, the honour isn't only a reflection of my work, it also recognises the dedication and commitment of my colleagues at stem4.
"The past three years have been very troubling, with so many more young people experiencing mental health difficulties. As I reflect on what this honour means, over the next 12 months my focus will be on promoting resilience in young people, and on campaigning for access to different types of mental health support, whether via community hubs or digitally.
"At the same time, I plan to explore ways to minimise risk for young people as they struggle to access the mental health support they need."
