"Do you mean what I mean”?: Avoiding misunderstandings in youth mental health research

Date: Tuesday 20 May 2025

Date: Tuesday 20 May 2025, 12:00PM-1:00PM
Location: Online

Join us for a 1-hour webinar exploring standard arts-based approaches to youth mental health. Hosted by Project CREATE (funded by UKRI/MRC), this webinar tackles vocabulary differences in interdisciplinary work – what happens when researchers and young people interpret key concepts like data, resilience or loneliness differently? And what can we do about it in order to avoid misunderstandings.

Hear from leading researchers and our young people as we discuss ways to make mental health research vocabulary focusing on youth loneliness more inclusive and youth-driven.
