Case Study: YoungMinds creates a blueprint for change with Savanta

YoungMinds reaches 14,215 survey completes with Savanta to shape mental health change

YoungMinds, a UK charity fighting for young people's mental health, commissioned Savanta's Youth Practice to gain insight into how young people would change the world to improve their mental health. The challenge was to unearth solutions and focus on those most marginalized from the mental health conversation.

Savanta implemented a mixed-method research approach including an online community, focus groups, and a large survey. A key part of the solution was training young activists as peer researchers and collaborating closely with the client. This resulted in 14,215 survey responses, far exceeding the target. Savanta provided the insights that enabled YoungMinds to reinvigorate their campaigns, broaden their policy focus, and update their youth programmes to lobby for systemic change.
