  1. A Guide to Rough Times From the developers’ perspective By Janet Hassall

  2. Review Decisions Is the site at www.cpft.nhs.uk/GTRT/young-people.htm ready and adequate to go live with a redirection from the old site URL? Should it remain as part of the CPFT site? Should we segment the ages within it? Should it retain its present form? How do we get more user involvement? What is the marketing plan?

  3. Background to GTRT • The original main text for the Guide was collated & written by Pam Timbrell & funded by the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust before 2007. Local variations were supported by the Ormiston Trust, Parents First and Hunts.Mind • The original leaflet was then developed into a web site at www.guidetoroughtimes.co.uk and a separate steering group took over responsibility.

  4. Recent Background • In 2011 it became clear that the Guide needed updating and CPFT was happy to take back the task of maintaining the site and creating a more contemporary and extensive version including multi-media and social media links. • Work on this started in spring 2012 alongside the development of a new web site for CPFT generally.

  5. Design Approach • To include and update the original information as appropriate • To retain the graphical identity of the original guide as far as possible • To make it more attractive to young people by including multi-media and social links • To extend the topics covered • To make it as rich as possible a source of information about the topics addressed • To make the information more accessible through methods such as tagging and personalisation

  6. Some pages from the GTRT leaflet

  7. Samples from the GTRT old website

  8. Examples of GTRT graphics

  9. GTRT graphics imported to new site

  10. Examples of media

  11. And examples of social media links

  12. Who is GTRT aimed at? The original leaflets were aimed at teenagers, their parents, carers, friends and family The new site is currently aimed primarily at teenagers but others may find it useful, and we hope to extend the site for others audiences

  13. Some of the other sites we looked at

  14. Design Philosophy Non judgmental, straight talking information with a touch of humour now and again No-holds barred subjects Encourage self-help and decision making Linking information internally throughout to offer related topics Drawing together as many external sources as possible both national and especially local

  16. The A C I D Process- logical steps for self help • A - being aware that there is a problem or something wrong • C - becoming concerned about it • I - investigating it and finding out more about what it is and what can be done about it • D - deciding what action to take, if any. 

  17. Examples of inspiring sites we found

  18. Should we segment by age within teens? For A typical 13 year old is very different from a typical 18 year old in terms of mental, physical and emotional development Under 16s have a different legal status Against Different children mature at different rates and it is not clear when a particular child will need specific information Under 16s may not be influenced by their legal status Childline, for example, do not segment by age

  19. Under-age teens needing help • 15 years old and pregnant with twinsThis 15 year old thought that she had just put on a bit of extra weight but she has found out she is pregnant with twins.I had unprotected sex with a guy who was older than me This 13 year old girl had unprotected sex with an older guy, and is now late for her period.

  32. Should it be on a mental health web site? For • All the issues addressed are relevant to mental health and well-being • To separate it out perpetuates stigma against mental health Against • The target audience may be reluctant to visit a mental health web-site because of stigma • Separate branding may make it more attractive and memorable

  33. How can we keep this up? • Continued funding • Regular maintenance including review of external links and content • Regular identification and inclusion of new material • Improved targeting at specific user needs • Maintaining a high public profile for the site

  34. Why should it matter? • It has unique and valuable features • It adds to what is already out there • We believe our target audience needs it • Because we care
