Worcestershire’s Youth Cabinet are running a mental health campaign to raise awareness about mental health and its true definition, but also about mental health services themselves. Other aims of the campaign are to bring together different organisations (and stakeholders), and to foster and encourage true partnership working, joined-up thinking and co-operation between all services, providers, charities and organisations.

The campaign has now completed phase 1 (bringing partners together and designing a survey) and is currently in phase 2. The key parts of this phase are to implement a survey for young people about mental health and to respond to the survey evidence.

The Youth Cabinet therefore want all young people in Worcestershire aged 11 to 25 to complete their survey. This will give the Youth Cabinet an idea of what young people’s understanding is of the term ‘mental health’, information about where young people get help with issues and knowledge about which services young people do or don’t access for mental health issues.

The survey can be found here and closes on 20th January 2017.
