Back to the process page

Process phases

1. 1
   13/02/2023 - 23/04/2023

   MindMapping

   Identifying problems relating to mental health (lack of) support that young people experience

   • Prepare Web page
   • Start gathering blogs/ vlogs and other resources (young people-led research) from all MR young people and other youth groups working with our partners
   • Prepare and run survey of 16-25 young people in GM to identify main problems that young people experience and want to talk about
   • Meeting with other MR groups to identify most mentioned problems
2. 2
   24/04/2023 - 16/06/2023

   MindBlowing

   Exploring innovative youth-led solutions

   • Invite proposals to address identified problems from across youth groups working on youth mental health including MR young people
   • Meeting of MR groups to merge similar proposals
   • Initial survey respondents invited to rank their favourite 3 proposals through voting process
   • 1 or 2 youth-led online debates with all MR groups/ partners and everyone that submitted proposals to finalise/ refine the most voted 3 proposals to be discussed with public officials/ services

   
   

3. 3
   14/06/2023 - 05/07/2023

   MindChanging

   Debating with policymakers and services how to implement young people’s ideas

   • Meeting across all MR groups/ partners to agree which public officials/ services to invite and how to reach them
   • Organise youth-led dialogue with public officials/ services (in person/ online)
   • Final plan of action of changes agreed (feasible and pragmatic but also pushing the boundaries a bit - we want to start a revolution!). This final plan/ manifesto will also include: what emerges from the new Legislative Theatre play; findings from the research group; actions from other groups working with our partners - e.g. Bee Heard group; Living Well researchers.
4. 4
   01/07/2023 - 31/07/2023

   MindRevolution

   The flipped consultation

   • Youth-led consultation to put our plan of action to policymakers/ services across different sectors that can contribute to make the changes young people need: youth mental health linked not just to health services, but also to housing, education, employment, addressing intersectional discrimination in society
5. 5
   13/02/2023 - 31/07/2023

   The Revolution will be televised: participatory scrutiny

   To make sure what agreed really happens. Accountability throughout the project

   • Firstly on what already agreed from last project
   • Secondly on what agreed through this new cycle
   • We hope this is only the beginning and that this can become an ongoing process of youth-led collective action and flipped consultation
