Purpose of the Project
We want to make sure we are developing the right support for young people and their families.
In order to do this, we want to learn and understand what thoughts you have as
- Young people
- Parents
- Carers
- Guardians
- Staff who work with young people
in order to create ideas of how to change our services.
In February 2022 a report from the Welsh Government found that supporting young people to move from children to adult services was important for improvement. Another report found that young people felt that there were difficulties such as being referred to adult services, the lack of support whilst waiting and feeling little or no control over the process.
The 100 Stories Project will support anyone who wishes to become involved to develop a story of their own.
The project will include training to teach you lots of new skills.
Creating a “Public Narrative or Public Story”.
A Public Story is a method of creating a story, through recording the information given in the way that you are most comfortable. This can be through
- Film
- Audio recording
- Written forms
- Poetry
- Blogging
- or other artistic methods.
The stories made through the project will then act as a tool for those taking part to continue to work together. And to understand what the challenges are currently and how to build on the positives to change services in the future. Recording the ideas that come from these sessions will allow us to work together to create a plan, that we will share with the services. Anyone involved will have the chance to carry on working on any other projects that come out of this work with the health board and partners.
