ABUHB Young People's Voice's Evaluation Summary

Introduction

In year 1, the Young People’s Voices project has:

• Acknowledged the need to make young people feel welcome in existing child-centric places within CAMHS.
• Offered young people a clear invitation to interact with their environment and take ownership of these spaces.
• Connected with young people in an authentic and meaningful way, rather than simply offering distracting activities.
• Demonstrated to young people that CAMHS considers them important and valued partners in the service, rather than passive recipients.

The project team has ambitious plans to build on this learning to develop streamlined and self-sustaining activities in Years 2 and 3.

Independent researcher Ruth Stevenson evaluated the Young People’s Voices project. The mixed-methods methodology for Year 1 comprised: Depth interviews with 7 artists, 3 clinicians, and 2 members of the Arts in Health team, 43 session reflection forms, and 9 clinician impact surveys.
