Acknowledgements
Thanks to the project team at Action for Children, in particular Julie Gillbanks, Greg Malone, Janine Thomas, Elizabeth Lawrence, and Jacqui Tiller for their valuable input and assistance in managing the project and delivering the Guide Cymru to schools. We are indebted to Dr Dave Williams (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service Advisor to Welsh Government) and to Dr Rob Williams (Senior Policy Advisor, National Association of Head Teachers), who contributed to many discussions which were instrumental in helping us design and shape both the amendments to the Guide and to the evaluation project. We are also grateful to the young people who provided user feedback on the development of the Guide Cymru and who advised on suitable amendments for adolescents at age 13-14 years. We are particularly grateful to Georgia Gray who dedicated a lot of her time to joining the Research Team and staff at Action for Children, along with our professional advisors (Dr Dave Williams and Dr Rob Williams), when discussing applicability of the concepts and language to her age group. Her insights, advice and counsel were invaluable. Finally, we are extremely grateful to Professor Stanley Kutcher and Dr Yifeng Wei for their extensive work in the conception and production of the original Guide mental health literacy programme, without which none of this work would have been possible. We are indebted to their support and assistance when developing the Guide Cymru for a younger age group, and for their indispensable insights and expertise when helping us to plan and design the RCT evaluation.
