Youthful Minds Participation Group
Youthful Minds was the first service which was set up within the CYP team at Mind Jersey in 2015, and has been running ever since. Youthful Minds is a voluntary participation group in which the young people aim to educate others about Mental Health, tackle and reduce stigma surrounding Mental Health and Mental illness, and aims to improve services for Children and Young People in Jersey through sharing the voice of their lived experience. The group meet on a weekly basis and are actively involved in raising awareness and improving services outside of their weekly meetings too. Youthful Minds promotes self-confidence and self-esteem and allows young people to make a meaningful difference within an area they are passionate about. The group work closely with other professionals who support CYP Mental Health and share lots of their fantastic work on their own social media channels. If you are interested to know more about what they do, please do have a look on Youthful Minds Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. If anyone is interested in joining the group then an email can be sent directly to youthfulminds@mindjersey.org
