Young people’s views and experiences of emotional wellbeing support in Northamptonshire

In the spring and summer of 2018, Young Healthwatch Northamptonshire gathered the views and experiences from young people across the county on mental health and wellbeing services. They successfully achieved 749 responses from young people between the ages of 11-19 years old. The young people that responded valued knowing where to go to get support for their emotional wellbeing. They also identified that support at school and a self-help service were the things that would be most useful for them.

The final report and recommendations will help improve service provision for young people accessing mental health and wellbeing services in Northamptonshire.
