MH:2K Oldham
The final report from MH:2K Oldham – is a pioneering youth-led pilot project which has harnessed the views of young people to shape the support and services available to them. The MH:2K pilot in Oldham was supported by a Wellcome Trust People Award, Oldham Council and Oldham Clinical Commissioning Group.
The project report features the findings gathered from over 600 diverse young people across Oldham by its 20-strong team of ‘Citizen Researchers’. The Citizen Researchers determined the top five challenges facing young people in Oldham on mental health:
The environment and culture of schools
Self-harm
Stigma
Family and relationships
Professional practice
They produced findings and recommendations on these topics, based on information collected at 42 roadshow events, attended by 598 other young people.
