Dear colleague,

Can you help us map youth work services for young people with physical and/or mental health conditions?

As part of a research study funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) we are carrying out a mapping survey to establish current provision of youth work services across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.  

We are interested in identifying any youth work services supporting young people (YP) who:

  • Are aged 11 to 25 years;
  • Have a long-term physical condition (e.g., diabetes, asthma) AND/OR;
  •  Have a long-term mental health condition (e.g., anxiety, depression, self-harm).

If you are aware of any services that meet this description, we would be delighted to hear about them via our short online survey which should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete.

For more information (inc. what will happen to your data) please review the information sheet at the beginning of the survey.

If you would like to discuss the study or request a paper copy of the survey, please contact me (rosie.gordon@manchester.ac.uk, 07584284337).

Additionally, it would be most helpful if you could cascade this request out to your colleagues, other organisations or professional networks/distribution lists.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Rosie
