Website co-production opportunities
In the New Year, the communications and engagement team will be visiting several groups as we look to co-produce the webpage content with children, young people, their families and carers and professionals. We have several visits planned to groups such as LGBT at Blackburn Youth Zone, and Headstart and Entwined Minds in Blackpool. As always, we’d like to gain insight from yourselves so if you know of any groups you feel would be good for us to co-produce with, please let us know! You can contact us by emailing healthyyoung.minds@nhs.net or calling 01772 214061.
