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.
