Are you between 17 and 25 years old? Have you used Mental Health Services?
Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough want to hear from young people aged 17 to 25 who have experience of mental health services — or from family members, parents or carers completing the survey on their behalf.
The survey is designed to be quick and easy and should only take 5-10 minutes – simply tick the boxes that match your answers. There are also spaces if you’d like to add any extra comments.
If you’re a parent or carer, please make sure you’re sharing the young person’s own views and experiences as much as possible.
About this survey
Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have been working with local communities and professionals to set their goals for the future (2025–2030). One of the biggest things that came up was mental health.
The results of the survey will be shared at the Healthwatch Summit on 8 October 2025 with 200 people in attendance.
Why are they doing this survey?
Because they are hearing that things aren’t working the way they should.
- People are waiting too long for help.
- It’s hard to know where to go or who to talk to.
- Services often don’t talk to each other – or to the people using them.
- Young people often feel ignored or left out of decisions.
They’ve already heard from loads of people, but now they want to hear directly from you.
Please complete the survey by 31 August 2025 (survey may close earlier).
