When will the Welsh Government provide a formal response to the Welsh Youth Parliament report on the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Wales?
The former Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being wrote to the Welsh Youth Parliament following the publication of the Young Minds Matter report and met with their Mental Health and Well-being Committee to discuss their findings. The Committee also met with officials to discuss their findings as part of the engagement work to develop the draft Mental Health and Well-being Strategy.
The report and recommendations have helped shape the draft Strategy and our ongoing actions to improve mental health and well-being. The report has been considered alongside a wide range of reviews, evidence and Committee reports that have informed this work.
We are currently consulting on our draft Mental Health and Well-being Strategy and we are providing additional, tailored support to ensure young people can engage with the consultation.
