Nothing about us without us

Listen to them on our collaboration podcast

Nothing About Us Without Us is a children and young people’s mental health advisory group, aiming to influence the services professionals say are meant to support young people ages 10 to 25, with different things that influence our mental health.

We have co-produced (worked together) with young people, multiple campaigns on different subjects that children and young people have told us about. We also work alongside professionals and decision makers who can make sure the voices of children and young people are heard and listened to. This group happens all over Yorkshire and the Humber where it has specific groups, e.g. York and North Yorkshire group.

The group is inclusive and we respect each other no matter what. We are always looking for new recruits to help shape and improve services.

The benefits of the group are:

• It’s a great way to meet new people and make friends
• Food and drink is always available (Including something for any dietary needs)
• A way to have your voice heard

As well so much more!!!!!!

They meet online and in person where they hold two big events, one in summer and one in winter where they bring hundreds of young people together to have their voices heard!
