Young Person's Survey: Improving access for minority communities to mental health services

What's this survey about?

This survey has been developed to help us understand how children and young people in Liverpool from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds (BAME) feel about support for their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

How will the results be used?

As well as helping us to understand children and young people’s mental health needs, the results from the survey will help to shape and develop the services needed to support them. This insight will also inform how this support should be accessed in the future as well as identify development opportunities for professionals working with children, young people and their families.

The survey is anonymous and closes on 31st July 2022.

Thank you for your valuable contribution.
