Youth Access completed an evaluation report for us on a pilot we developed called ‘The Primary Mental Health 18+ Project’. The staff member involved was fantastic, patient and worked carefully with us to ensure we had the most useful data possible for the report. The analysis helped us to demonstrate the effectiveness and impact on young people, and will enable us to apply for further funding. The team at Youth Access are great to work with – knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. They are a great partner organisation and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them in this way again in the future
