Case Study - key features, EXISTING EVIDENCE, WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE …

- - - - YP involved "in creative development/performance of a piece of theatre around a specific topic (e.g. mental health in this case)
      - 52 young people "involved in the development & delivery"
        
        Young people "involved in every stage of the process, from selecting the themes, writing the scripts,
        performing the show, facilitating the workshops and also in a range of front of house roles".
  - - - Workshops explored "the issues surrounding mental health and young people in today’s society" Shouldn't this have been done by MH professionals?
        
        Make up of EVA audience from survey: "(57%) felt positive about this currently. 33% expressed mixed or neutral views about their mental health, 3% expressed negative views and 6% did not answer. "
        AGAIN LIMITATIONS OF SELF-REPORT THOUGH

    - - "A texting service was also borne from the idea of the inspirational quotes. The service texts random feel-good messages to young people who sign up for the service, with a particular emphasis on sending messages at times when young people might be feeling low, such as weekends. Approximately 500 young people have signed up for the texting service." IS THIS BECAUSE OF FEEDBACK? POSITIVE IN THAT 500 PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR IT, BUT HOW MUCH RESEARCH IS THERE RE INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROMOTION
- - - - Quotes from audience members: 1. (EVA) “Real for young people. Good to give young people space to talk about mental health” 2. (EVA) “Really unique way of getting through to youth”
        
        “There were several complex messages in the piece and the medium / analogy was very effective in putting them across without it feeling like a lecture. It was very thought
        provoking while fun to watch” (Independent Evaluator from Arts Council for Northern Ireland on Circus: Behind the Curtain) NOT FROM AUDIENCE
  - - - EXTENDED KEY AIMS OF PROJECT AS ALSO RAISED AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WITH "LOCAL AGENCIES", PROMPTING THEM TO INCLUDE THEM ON THEIR AGENDAS
