Project99

Project 99 was funded as an agreed action in the strategic programme for Child and Youth Mental Health Improvement for Greater Glasgow and Clyde. It has adopted a coproduction approach, working with young people aged 15 21 to explore the potential of the internet and social media in promoting mental health. It aligns with Commitment 6 of the Scottish Mental Health Strategy 2012, which stresses the intention to use new technologies in the improvement of mental health nationwide. The project, commissioned by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, was taken forward by a consortium comprising of national youth information agency Young Scot, service design agency Snook and the Mental Health Foundation. It has been guided by a multi-agency steering group that in turn helped forge connections with a range of local youth groups and projects. This is a collection of the final outputs from the project.
