Since 2006 HCFF has been supporting the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services for Hampshire in extending the opportunities to take into account the views of Children, Young People and Families in service delivery.
During 2006 Sharon Nash, County Participation Manager, undertook a series of Theatre Workshops with vulnerable young people.  In 2007 it was possible for Senior Managers in Hampshire to hear at first hand the events and circumstances that beset our young people.
‘Messing with My Head’ was conducted with several groups, from Pupil Referral Units, Young Carers, Supported Accommodation, and Special Schools.				Stories, Songs, and Messages from the event
The overwhelming response of those that attended was a tribute to the bravery of those that told their story.   Comments people made about the event.
The videos from the event are below, The files are fairly large, and could take a while to load.
