      I think it would be a project I worked on with an undergraduate student who was interested in young peoples help seeking in mental health. We worked with a local youth group in the north west and looked at general attitudes to talking about mental health which were found to be positive. However when we asked about who they would go to for support the young people were relying on friends and the internet, so would not help seek from gp or teachers. So this research identified a possible gap where funding is being placed.
