How to improve young women’s mental health Event
On 5th March 2020, 12 of our brilliant YouthWatch volunteers chaired and facilitated table discussions at this event. Before the event, they had worked with Leeds City Council colleagues to plan and share their ideas for how it would run. It was attended by around 120 people, of whom 51 were young people. All of the ideas and views shared at the event have been fed into the Future in Mind: Leeds Programme Board and All Age Mental Health Strategy for Leeds.
