A team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh are working on a project to determine what a “good outcome” looks like for children and young people who have used mental health services. Is it reduced symptoms? Success in school or work? Strong family relationships? You could help by completing a survey by 30th March.

There is no single correct answer, which is why the perspective of people with lived experience and their families, carers and other stakeholders is vital.
To ensure researchers measure what matters most, they’re asking a diverse group of people to identify what they consider to be their priorities. Young people with lived experience of mental health services and other stakeholders met researchers and identified a list of potentially important outcomes. They would now like to know which of these outcomes you consider most important.
Please help by sharing this anonymous survey with your members and networks. Researchers are keen to hear from:
The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete and will close on Monday 30th March. Your support in disseminating it would ensure that lived experience directly influences future research priorities.
This project is funded by the Health Research Board. You can find more information about their work here.
