This is achieved by developing peer support networks, supported by e-mental health resources including the triage website, http://www.yshareit.com. Young people involved in the evaluation of the project described in this paper completed a range of activities aimed at enhancing communication skills and developing ideas for promoting e-mental health resources. (Contains 7 tables and 2 notes.)
