The MHSP Participation Group (that’s us!) consists of 30 young people from all areas of Northamptonshire, who get together six times a year to drive the project forward and provide feedback and information about mental health services and support for young people. Some of our key activities are:
1. Mental Health Awareness Day:
Once a year we have a county-wide Mental Health Awareness Day to encourage people to TALK OUT LOUD about mental health. Last year over 50% of primary and secondary schools in Northamptonshire took part – take a look at the article below for more information.
2. Films and other marketing materials to raise awareness about mental health:

3.Working with schools
We have developed an education pack, consisting of four one-hour lessons, that can be delivered to young people aged 14 – 18….over 60% of Northamptonshire secondary schools have used this educational resource.
4.Having our say!
We are regularly asked for feedback on mental health services and support by the NHS, Northamptonshire County Council and other important organisations – we always provide a report containing our feedback. Please contact us if you would like to bring something to our meeting.
