Young people’s experiences of mental health

Description

The latest episode of MTER features our very own Christine Grove, who is gaining a stellar reputation for her varied research focusing on young people, schools and mental health.

Young people’s experience of mental health is now a priority issue at all levels of education. We are seeing increasing depression and anxiety amongst every age group … with key issues ranging from rising levels of study stress and cyberbullying, through to ongoing anxieties around global events such as climate change and COVID-19

 

Listen to Christine talk about her specific projects exploring innovative interventions such as having therapy dogs in the classroom and to developing therapeutic Chat Bots.

We also talk about Christine’s growing interest in participatory approaches to researching with young people, and her new ‘Youth Booth’ online exhibition.
