Notice Title

Children and Young People's Experience of Seeking Mental Health Support via Different Mental Health

Notice Description

1. Set-up, recruitment and delivery of in-depth interviews of 25-30 individuals aged 18-25 years with lived-experience of seeking and/or receiving mental health support (only those who are not in an acute mental health crisis will be asked to participate) by May 15, 2023.

The sampling framework for the recruitment (e.g. purposive sampling), developed in consultation with Public Health Wales.3.
