Published our work today on young people’s experiences of the ‘missing middle’ of mental health support. We were told of the emotional impact of struggling to access help. You can read the overview of what we heard here👇🏻 English: lnkd.in/eQmHwf4D Cymraeg: lnkd.in/enmV76Dt
Please keep spreading the word about this survey so that as many younger adults and teens living with illness can have their voices heard about #transition. Thank you @lisacorderybruce.bsky.social for taking this forward. forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...
