Introduction

This ‘How to’ guide is one of a series designed to bring together learning from the five-year Right Here programme initiated by Paul Hamlyn Foundation (PHF) and the Mental Health Foundation (MHF).

Each guide focuses on a particular theme arising from the programme’s work across the UK and aims to provide practical pointers and suggestions to support the development of innovative and effective responses to the mental wellbeing of young people aged 16–25.

This particular guide is aimed at those working within primary care settings to support the development of youth-friendly practice in relation to mental health and wellbeing.
