Sophie Smith

Being part of the YPAG has given me the opportunity to work on a project that places young people at the heart of research into mental health. Rather than being passive participants, we are directly involved and actively shaping the work. Through YPAG, I’ve been able to attend conferences and meetings, and even present my own experiences to others. This has not only allowed me to contribute to the campaign in a meaningful way, with both our podcast and monthly meetings, but it has also sparked a passion for making a difference in the future. On a personal level, the experience has been invaluable in helping me grow and begin to shape my career path.
