Oliver's values
Why are you on the Youth Panel at YoungMinds?
Being on the Youth Panel allows me to influence decisions on mental health provision, education, and all that YoungMinds does. I enjoy solving problems, especially matters which can help people.
Which of our values do you relate to most, and why do you think it’s an important value for us?
The value I relate the most to is: 'kindness is our strength'.
'Kindness is our strength' is a value which resonates lots. In some domains it may be seen as a weakness, but YoungMinds demonstrates that being compassionate and authentic is very powerful.
