Young People’s Health Partnership – new research on mental health

Members of the Young People’s Health Partnership have released new research around young people and mental health.

Youth Access have published research into the demographic profile of clients accessing VCSE counselling services for young people and young adults and an evaluation of outcomes. The research shows that young people perceive these services as being highly accessible and that they appear to be able to reach marginalised groups who may not be accessing other services.

Addaction have published the results of a survey they carried out with over 8,000 young people on their perceptions of wellbeing and self harm among 13-to-17 years olds

They have also released a short film and a blog to give some context to the survey.
