The Halton Youth Impact Survey Results are in, and we have launched the third in a series of seven Data Action Bulletins. The first Bulletin, An Outlook on Mental Health: A Priority for all Youth, shares key findings from the survey as well as feedback from the Youth Data Party on the state of young people’s mental health in Halton. The second Bulletin, Relationships are the Roots of Positive Development explores findings from the survey on the state of Halton youth’s relationships and sense of belonging among peers and adults, and in their community. The third bulletin, Building for the Future: How Halton Youth Engage in Caring for their Communities and the Environment focuses on how young people in neighbourhoods across the Region interact with their community.
The aim of the Data Action Bulletins is to inspire conversation around the wellbeing of young people in Halton. Each bulletin is designed to guide discussion through a series of questions and ideas that will lead to discovery and meaningful action. The bulletins conclude with a series of Data Actions, or questions to guide discussion at your organization and catalyze action towards improving the wellbeing of all young people in Halton.
