Just in time for summer, the first discussion group has now taken place (hooray!). I think it went well and that those who took part found it interesting (or at least they said they did!).
The discussion raised a lot of fascinating points, and very much confirmed for me just how important it is that the voices of young people under 16 are included in research on drugs, alcohol and self-harm.
I’m really looking forward to hearing what others have to say in future groups and interviews.
There is now a (rather lonely) facebook page for the project, do stop by and like it:
