Prevention Of Young Suicide
From the evaluations and feedback that PAPYRUS has received from children, young people and families in respect of our resources it is clear that availability of our information in other formats/languages would increase accessibility and reach a wider audience, and that the formats/language translations should consider cultural translation.
Children and Young People have been involved in the development of all the PAPYRUS resources which would be translated in this project. For example; our leaflet ‘Thinking of Ending It All?’ was developed using input from students at Deeside College, Our leaflet ‘Listen To Me’ was written by the members of YoungPAPYRUS who are a group of students based at Manchester University.
The PAPYRUS trustees, who have been responsible for producing the resources, have in depth experience of working with children and young people in a professional capacity along with direct experience of suicidal and self harming behaviour from a parents perspective. This project has been developed partly as a result of these trustees identifying the need for greater accessibility of our resources including their translation and also following the advice of one of the PAPYRUS trustees who is a young Asian woman and who has been able to identify specific needs within the ethnic minority community.
We propose to involve young people and relevant adults at every stage from appropriate targeted ‘concept groups’ through consultation to implementation and evaluation. This information would then be available for the project to be rolled out across multiple government regions as and when required.
This project would involve the following targets which link to the specific aims listed;
- 3 Government regions identified - to include 1 urban, 1 rural and 1 metropolitan
- Concept meetings to be held in each region with target groups
- Partnership working to be developed with appropriate agencies within concept meetings and resource distribution e.g. Connexions, Youth Service, Faith Groups, Childrens Centres, Local Authority Community Homes
- Customising and translation of leaflets into identified needed formats (following consultations at concept meetings)
- Marketing of resources available to target groups
- Distribution of resource materials to target groups
- Feedback / evaluation invites sent out to target groups (those where resources have been distributed)
- Evaluation report produced
- Dissemination of project delivered to target regions & printing of report to be distributed to 'roll out' to identified government regions
