Youth Mental Health Community Survey 2023
headspace Ballarat’s Youth Reference Group (YRG) is a group of young leaders in the community who are passionate about improving mental health outcomes for young people in Ballarat and surrounding areas.
A core function or our work is to conduct a needs analysis with our community. This allows us to adhere to co-design practices, enabling us to meet the needs and themes most relevant to our community.
The results of this survey will inform our key project for 2023 and allow us to continue delivering future projects that are focused on the health outcomes of young people.
We encourage people from all backgrounds to respond and recognise the importance of intersectionality in conversations surrounding mental health.
