Welcome!

You're probably wondering who on earth we are, well let me explain...

It all started some months ago with a group of fairly ordinary young people (16-25) from the fine city of York. This diverse collective of individuals united to make a dvd, in the beginning. The dvd was to feature young people who had, had experience of the mental health services in York. So this faithful band of energetic youthful types met regularly under the pretense of creating an educational dvd (however we all harboured secret desires to be stars of the stage and screen). Sadly the short film was not destined for Hollywood but it did however 'go down a treat' with the mental health services in York.

Since the first showing of the dvd we soon realised that there was quite a need, within York, for a group of young people who were willing to engage with the mental health (MH) services in York. By engaging with the MH services and other young people we hope to:

• Improve the services for the future.
• Raise awareness of MH issues for young people.

That really is it in short.

Oh and one more thing, if you have had experience of the mental health services in York and you are 16-25 years old then WE NEED YOU!
