The Isle of Wight youth mental health Census 2025 is up and running , a crucial initiative to better understand and improve the mental health services young people need across the Island.
There are two different surveys for different age ranges, and both should take no longer than ten minutes to complete.
Providing valuable insights into youth challenges
This short, anonymous survey will provide valuable insights into the challenges young Islanders face, helping Isle of Wight Youth Trust to tailor support to their needs.
There is one for eight to 11-year-olds and one for 12 to 25-year-olds. Young people completing the census can be entered into a draw for a £25 shopping voucher of their choice.
The surveys include signposting to the Youth Trust and Kooth.com, which provide free anonymous support in case any of the questions make anyone feel sad or needing someone to talk to.
It’s recommended that parents or teachers help eight to 11-year-olds complete the survey.
Savill: So important to our community’s future
Paul Savill, Wellbeing lead at the charity said,
“We are really pleased to able to get the voices of children and young people heard again.
“We now have a number of years of data which is so useful to services and organisations on the Island who support or work with this generation who are so important to our community’s future.”
