First of three journey questionnaires that Young Women's Trust advisory panel members fill in at the beginning, middle and end of their 2-years on the panel.

This form is used by Young Women's Trust. They ask young women to complete it if they disclose that they have a mental health condition. This form, or tool (courtesy of Mind) is really useful in getting them to write about their condition, e.g. how it manifests itself in different situations starting with triggers through to crisis points, what their action plan is for each situation and how staff should support them too.
