"Young people experience mental health difficulties at a higher rate than any
other age group.
While there’s ongoing discussion about the formal supports they need, young
people say they’re most likely to speak with peers and friends – particularly
when mental health care is difficult to access.
In partnership with youth mental health charity batyr and clinical expertise,
we undertook a national survey and conducted focus groups with young people
(aged 16–25 years).
We wanted to understand how young people support each other and what resources
they need to keep caring for their friends in safe ways."
