Amplifying young people’s voices
The Association for Young People’s Health involves young people in our work at all levels. We value young people’s lived experience and expertise and approach every interaction with young people as a learning opportunity.
We are committed to working transparently, ethically and honestly with young people at all times and we put in the extra work to ensure we hear from young people who face barriers to participation. Our code of practice and participation practice resources tell you more.
We produce a range of youth led creative resources that centre young people’s experiences and views on their health.
We also involve young people in our governance.
