Policy Proposal 3: Mental Health Spaces Designed by Young People

Have college students and staff come to 42nd Street and look at their co-designed spaces, to replicate them

There should be a way for young people to grade mental health spaces and audit how welcoming and accessible they are, as a way of raising awareness that environment influences mental health

Dedicating budget for young people to design a space for youth mental health in one of New Bridge Group’s schools in Oldham

There should be care taken to ensure that diverse groups of people who can think about different accessibility needs are involved in designing these spaces

There should be an accountability process so that the end design of these spaces accurately reflects input from young people
