Have your say: Leeds Mind's new mental health service for children and young people

Leeds Mind is expanding its services for people aged 11-25.

Later this year we will be offering new 1-to-1 and group support to 11-25 year olds who have had very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma. We want people with personal experience to help us design it.

This survey is for:

11-25 year olds who have had very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma
People over 25 who had very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma when they were under 25
Parents/carers of children who have had very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma

Question Title

* 1. Are you:

Aged 11-25 and have personal experience of very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma

Aged over 25 and had very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma when you were under 25

The parent/carer of a child who has had very difficult, frightening or upsetting experiences or trauma

Question Title

* 2. The new service will offer both 1-to-1 and group support. All staff and volunteers delivering the service will have our own personal experience of trauma as a child/young person.

Do you feel the age of the staff/volunteers is important?

Yes - I would prefer staff/volunteers to be young (25 and under)

Yes - I would prefer staff/volunteers to be over 25

No - I wouldn't mind what age the staff are
