Thrive LDN are calling for everyone across the culture, health and care sector to get involved and build a systemic approach to embedding young-Londoner led voices into policy, action and improvements in London.
Thrive LDN are calling for:
1. Funders and policymakers to prioritise investments in preventative mental health initiatives for young people that focus on addressing the underlying social determinants of health, such as poverty, housing instability, discrimination, and access to education.
2. Collective responsibility to create a system where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. This includes sustainable funding and support for artists with lived experience of mental health to create safe, accessible spaces for children and young people to express themselves through art and creativity.
3. An increase in Youth Participation in Decision-Making: Opportunities for young Londoners to speak directly to policy makers about the importance of creative approaches to support their mental health and wellbeing.
