Co-developing digital mental health support with young people

Many young people experience depression and anxiety but don’t always get the support they need. Current guidelines recommend digital tools as a helpful way to support mental health, but there’s a need for more accessible programmes that are grounded in evidence.

The bilingual digital programme, MoodHwb, was co-developed with young people with lived experience of depression, along with parents, carers, professionals, and a digital media company. MoodHwb aims to support young people to manage their mood and well-being.

In this session, Dr Bevan Jones will introduce the digital programme, share how it was developed and discuss how it has been evaluated so far.
