Ms SPENCE (Yuroke) — (12 497) My constituency question is to the Minister for Mental Health, and I ask: what advice can the minister provide to Yuroke Youth Advisory Council (YYAC) members, who this year have decided to raise awareness of mental health issues in our community? Last week I was delighted to convene the 2017 Yuroke Youth Advisory Council. Since my election to this place, it has been a pleasure to convene a youth council each year to hear directly from young people on issues that are important to them. This year YYAC members decided to focus on mental health issues and what can be done to make a difference in this policy area. I know that YYAC members Emily, Thomas, Marina, Gursewak, Isobel, Yunus, Dilara, Rajat, Josh S., Josh M., Alixandra, Sidney, James, Alicia, Alex, Amy, Stephanie and Vanessa will be grateful for advice from the minister on this matter.
