In Their Own Words 2024: Health & Mental Health Video

As part of In Their Own Words 2024, Kim and Dyllan share the findings from our survey with over 200 care experienced individuals – on the topic of Health and Mental Health.  They share the key messages from the survey responses and what care experienced people tell us would make a difference at a local and national level:

This was one of five topics chosen as priority areas for action by the Young People’s Benchmarking Forum.

Read Dyllan’s Blog to find out more about the other topics, the event itself and to download the slides. 

YPBMF are currently collating short reports on the five topics which will be published in National Care Leavers Week, which starts on Monday 28th October 2024.

Kim is a YPBMF Legend and Dyllan is a YPBMF Champion.
