After the launch of a successful project with Unloc, a not-for-profit organisation, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is extending it to include Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.
The mission is to give Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes’ youth a powerful voice and be listened to; ultimately empowering them to help make ground-breaking changes, develop their own skills and potential as well as give them a unique platform via a planned Youth Board.
The anonymous five-minute survey asks young people for their views on mental health – to get a ‘temperature check’ on mental health issues.
You can take part in the confidential survey here.
Oxford Health’s goal is to develop a Youth Board for the Trust – where engaged young people can share insights, ideas and experiences to enhance services.
Unloc’s Managing Director, Hayden Taylor said:
“This project is such an important one, it really helps NHS agencies to provide the absolute best support they can to young people. Often reaching out for help or support can be intimidating and cause anxiety, by speaking directly with young people we can overcome these barriers, examine why young people find it hard to talk and how they prefer to communicate, and ensure that everyone is able to reach out in a way that’s comfortable to them.”
“I urge everyone, even if you’ve never experienced any issues with your mental health yourself – to complete the survey and give us your views. It really does help us to understand the best way to engage and provide support for young people when they need it.”
“It’s completely confidential, you can do it on your phone or tablet, and only takes a few minutes, we really do value your input.”
