Background
The Medical Research Council has granted us Centenary Award funding to investigate what kinds of services young people prefer to use when they are feeling overwhelmed by their situation or at risk of self-harm. Participants in this study have been recruited from an earlier study investigating the impact of sudden bereavement on the emotional health and social functioning of young adults. The research questionnaire will be emailed to each of the 1,000 participants individually in 2013 for online completion.
This page provides further information on the study, and a list of sources of support for people experiencing feelings of distress, despair, or suicidal thoughts.
