#290 Young Minds Matter with NAViGO

The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey

This week’s podcast takes us on a poignant journey through the minds of three young people as we spotlight their experiences and perspectives of mental health and promote and celebrate Children’s Mental Health Week, this week.

Sarah Everest-Ford, returning to the Business of Healthcare podcast with fresh insights as the Programme Director for HCP North East Lincs, alongside Amy Quickfall, Co-Production and Engagement lead at NAViGO, as they guide us on the significance of including young voices in shaping mental health services – and introduce us to Sam, Adam and Robin who talk us through:

• The transformative power of co-production in healthcare
• How a project to put together a simple welcome booklet became a beacon of change, reflecting the true needs and ideas of our younger generation
• A raw and personal account of stigmatisation faced in healthcare settings
• Advice and insights for us as healthcare professionals (and parents and carers) in reaching out, treating, and better communicating with young people who are seeking our support
• The unique challenges of social media interactions, including a candid observation on the online hostility faced by the LGBTQ+ community
• The NAViGO emphasis on a user-centric approach to healthcare and ensuring that young people’s voices are at the heart of service transformation.

Tune in for a blend of heartfelt narratives and strategic insights which underscore the importance of co-creating mental health strategies with the wisdom of lived experience.
