Hi everyone, we've been contacted by the Mental Health Foundation to look for people who might be interested in working with them on their 5 year project 'Right Here'.
Hi,
Our names are Carly and Kim. We are the young people’s participation workers for Right Here. Right Here aims to create fresh ways of reducing stigma and original means of ensuring that teenagers and young people are looking after their emotional health in ways they think will work and in places they like to go to (e.g. schools, youth clubs, sports centres).
We are looking for 16-25 years olds to work with us in an exciting 5-year project. If you are 16-25 years old; passionate about having a voice and having a say about ways that will really help young people when they are feeling down, stressed, upset and worried and are willing to give up some of your time to work with us, this could be a great opportunity for you!
You will help make a difference; meet other young people with similar interests; have opportunities of accredited training and work experience for your CV, and be rewarded for your participation and commitment. If you become part of the specialist advisory board, we will pay for your travel costs to London, food and drinks and also pay for someone to support you or a friend to accompany you, if that would make you feel more comfortable.
So, if you are interested in being involved there are two ways you can do this. You can be part of a UK wide specialist young person’s advisory board who will meet up face to face every 4 months in London. Or, you can be a member of the virtual group and have your say as a member of the forum on our website.
The date of the first advisory board meeting is Saturday 13th December between 12.00pm-3.00pm at the Mental Health Foundation office in London. So put that date in your diary now!
Please go to www.right-here.org.uk/young-people to request an application pack. You will need to complete the application by Friday 21st November so get on line today! We look forward to hearing from you.
