To whom it may concern,
Dear Sir/Madam,

On behalf of the Bold Ideas for Brighter Futures 2026 (BIBF 2026) conference, co-hosted by Stellenbosch University, Karolinska Institutet, and UNICEF, we are reaching out to request your valued support in amplifying an important global initiative.

We are currently conducting a global survey titled Listening to Young People: Access, Gaps, and Experiences in Mental Health Services. The findings will directly inform a Youth Manifesto to be presented at BIBF 2026, shaping evidence-based mental health advocacy at an international level alongside academics, researchers, policymakers, and the broader public.

✅ Fully anonymous | 🌍 Available in 22 languages | ⏱ Takes ~10 minutes

It captures youth perspectives on mental health supports, access gaps, and international disparities, thus ensuring that real voices, not assumptions, drive meaningful action.

We kindly request that your organisation share this survey link with your networks, members, or communities. Every response strengthens the collective youth voice and contributes to real-world change in mental health services. We have also attached a shareable graphic for your convenience should you wish to post it on social media.

Should you have any questions or wish to learn more about BIBF 2026, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you sincerely for your time and support.

Best regards,
Khairiah Hannah,
Secretary, Youth Connect Networking BIBF 2026.
