Description

Waiting Room has been co-developed with young people across North Central London. 

Young people are at the heart of Waiting Room. You can use the platform to better understand the mental health and wellbeing options available to you, to learn about self-help strategies you can use now, and to build a plan to help you think about and manage your wellbeing.

If you’re new to Waiting Room, here are a few suggestions for how you, as a young person, can get started using the website:

  • Register for an account

    For a more personalised experience and to unlock additional features, why not register for an account on NCL Waiting Room?

    It’s free and easy to do, and once you’re registered, you’ll be able to make use of the following features:

    • Build a wellbeing plan
    • Tailored recommendations
    • Journal and mood tracker
    • Favourite resources
    • Daily affirmations

    With our accounts, you can now build a personalised wellbeing plan. Your plan will provide recommendations for tailored resources on the platform and help you to communicate your needs to others.

    You can also favourite or save resources you would like to return to, and you can use the journal and mood tracker. It’s then easy to share these resources with others, such as friends, family members or professionals.

  • Browse our trusted support library

    Are you wondering what options are out there to support your mental health and wellbeing? Are you looking for something that’s available in your area, or something you can do right now?

    Take a look at our trusted support library which allows you to easily search and filter Waiting Room’s 300+ mental health and wellbeing resources. 

  • Get involved

    All young people with an interest in Waiting Room, websites or digital technology are invited to get involved in the ongoing development of the platform.

    This could involve providing feedback about the platform, sharing your experiences to improve the website, contributing to current or future research or evaluation related to the platform, or participating in designing the website.
