We will take you through the stories of 5 young adults, their experiences with mental distress and the help they received in the process. We will interact and give you, the audience, insight into experiences, tips and opportunities to reshape mental health care. We begin by giving a brief insight into where to find more information about mental health issues for DHH youth in the Netherlands (products and website). The collaboration between the moderators and DHH youth in creating the Psywel JONG website was the inspiration for the presentation during Joining Forces 2024. During this presentation, the young adults tell in brief what they tell their peers more extensively on the website.
