The toolkit has been co-produced by, young people, for, young people, over the last 9 months, in collaboration with Bassetlaw young people’s service providers, POV volunteers and Bassetlaw Youth Council, supported by the Bassetlaw Children and Young People’s Mental Health Alliance.

 

The magazine-style toolkit is designed to be a comprehensive resource for young people on waiting lists for mental health support, offering a wealth of information including strategies, local support, and top tips and videos created by young people to help navigate the challenges they face. This is not a replacement for mental health support, it is aimed at making the wait a little easier and preventing escalation.
