talking2ourselves website The Scottish Development Centre in partnership with Penumbra was commissioned by NHS Health Scotland to work with a group of young people aged from 13 – 21 on researching and developing information for young people about health and wellbeing. This followed on from the national review of mental health services for children and young people in Scotland (SNAP). The group of young people subsequently decided to develop a web-based information resource and talking2ourselves was constructed.
Information resources in development 2006-2008 Information bulletins – e-newsletter An e-newsletter is being developed in pilot formats with different interest groups (eg SDC Staff and associates; agencies working with children and young people across Scotland who participate in the Collaborative Network supported by SDC and YoungMinds). Once these pilots are complete, consumer surveys will be carried out to ensure that information and format continue to be engaging and helpful. This work will assist in furthering the objectives of the Framework for Children and Young People’s Mental Health through enhancing understanding of the role of information flow in health improvement. Emerging practice database An emerging practice resource is currently in development. This will aim to foster an awareness of relevant research and emerging evidence from practice, knowledge of innovative approaches being tried or implemented in other areas and improved awareness of a range of models for new ways of working. This will have the potential to become a database of examples of existing projects and ongoing work, focusing initially on health improvement.
