Mental health problems in young people are on the rise: 1/6 have a probable mental health problem in England. Research is a way of hearing people’s voices to inform how we support young people’s mental health.

Young people from minoritised ethnic groups are less likely to be included in research studies that inform how we can best support young people’s mental health.

The aim of this project is to understand the views of young people from minoritised ethnic groups about how to make mental health research more inclusive. If we are not hearing the voices of young people from minoritised ethnic groups in research, mental health support is not going to be based on what’s important to them.

People aged 16-25 who self-identify as being from a minoritised ethnic group in the UK with lived experience of discrimination are able to take part.

What’s involved?

Taking part in a remote group discussion on Microsoft Teams lasting between an hour and a half to two hours.
