• Listen and try to understand that young people care about their health too
• Health services need to be more flexible and young person friendly
• Listen and care about me. I need warmth not medication• Alternative therapies and behavioural therapies helped
me understand myself and look after myself better • Health Youth Mentors would be really good • Give me information so I can manage my own health• My CPN listened –she ‘made’ time for me
