This Mental Health Awareness Week, our friends at Youth Out Loud! have got a whole range of information and advice available, and lots of ways you can get involved. Check out the piece below from Mike Derry, (Healthwatch Richmond Chief Officer), Sara Rossi, (Youth Out Loud! Coordinator) and Josie O’Connell (YOL! member) to find out more! 

Youth Out Loud! (YOL!) are a group of young people aged 13-17 from Kingston & Richmond who are helping to improve NHS care and the wellbeing of young people.

Working with Healthwatch in Richmond & in Kingston, they help to make health and care services better for young people by mystery shopping local services and raise awareness of important issues like self-harm and mental health and how to get help by making videos.
