Leeds

lyla YH

In Yorkshire the ‘Yorkshire Advisors: YoungMinds Vs’ meets monthly.

This group is open to any young people aged 11-25 who are interested in getting involved locally with the campaign; it will be a place to share ideas about what you’re doing in your communities/ schools / colleges in order to promote the campaign.

Yorkshire Advisors also act as an advisory group for visitors who want to know more straight from young people themselves so that you can properly influence decisions which are being made about young people’s mental health services, for example with local CAMHS managers, commissioners, councillors. If you’re interested in joining this group get in touch with Liz: [email protected] or Facebook Liz YoungMinds 

North East

Participants at Change UR Mind's Young Leaders programme, February 2014In the North East, YoungMinds has worked with Youth Focus: North East to set up Change UR Mind (www.changeurmind.org.uk ) which is the regional mental health youth board.

Members of the board are fully behind the YoungMinds Vs campaign and are also involved in loads of other projects and activities, including developing our own Young Leaders training course.

The group is for young people living in the North East between the ages of 11-25 years who are passionate about mental health. Get in touch with Yvonne: [email protected] if you want to come and join us. 

London

The London hub is a hive of activity since YoungMinds Vs - there are countless young people across the capital who’ve started getting involved and want to get their voices heard and we make that happen!

We run campaign and media training and match activists to opportunities to influence decision makers. There are also opportunities to tell your story in the media if this is something you’re interested in.  

We have regular meetings and there is always plenty of news about what’s going on facebook. If you’re interested in joining this group get in touch with Petra: Facebook Petra, [email protected]
