Norfolk County Council is looking for young people to take part in a research project that aims to find out what needs to change to help improve young people’s mental health.
The purpose of the research is to find out what will make the biggest difference to young people and what changes they want to see in society. The information will then be used to create a new vision for what support for children and young people should look like while youth parliament will be supporting young minds campaign for young people’s vision to be incorporated in the government spending review.
The research will seek to find out:
- thoughts, feelings and experiences about how different aspects of identity impact on lives and mental health.
- what changes could be made to improve their experiences and the experiences of other young people.
During the session young people will be asked:
- What makes you, you. (what makes up your identity)
