Evaluation of Community Mental Health Services
Scottish Youth Parliament and Children in Scotland supported a group of MSYPs to work as a peer investigation team to evaluate the mental health and wellbeing community support and services for 5-24-year-olds, their parents and carers.
The investigation team developed and delivered an evaluation framework and report in order to make recommendations to the Scottish Government’s Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Joint Delivery Board (click here to visit).
The investigation team worked with a range of local authorities across Scotland to evaluate services funded by the Scottish Government as part of its commitment to improve support for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing in Scotland.
Children in Scotland staff especially enjoyed supporting the MSYPs to engage with younger children through a range of creative and accessible methodologies.

The purpose of this evaluation is to understand service user experiences, involvement of children and young people in service design and delivery, and wider awareness of community based mental health and wellbeing services and supports funded by the Scottish Government’s community services fund, and to make recommendations to the Scottish Government.
