community awareness and promotion
Approximately 14% of 12-17 year olds and 27% of 18 - 25 year olds experience some form of mental ill health and/or problems with drugs and alcohol every year. If we ensure our community is informed about mental health, is youth-friendly and takes seriously its responsibility to our youngest citizens we can make a difference to these statistics!
