AICAFMHA's role in the National Youth Participation Strategy...
* AICAFMHA supports mental health projects under the NMHP and NSPS to link and work in partnership with young people.
* AICAFMHA connects with young people in the community and with established groups at a National, State and local level who are interested in mental health.
* AICAFMHA aims to facilitate young people's participation nationally across a continuum of participation through a variety of mechanisms.
* AICAFMHA is able to take on a coordination role and bring together a diverse range of young people and established groups.

The Survey...
The whole thing will take around 15 minutes, but if you just want to give feedback on certain things,
that is AOK too.

What to expect...
You'll be given a page with some information and ideas about how young people can have their voice heard in the development and implementation of programs under the NMHP and NSPS.

Then there are some questions to answer for each of the three models you'll have just looked at.

Why Youth Participation?...
Young people bring new perspectives influencing outcomes in new and unexpected ways.
