Wolfson Webinar: Youth voices on social media
Watch back the Wolfson Webinar: Youth voices on social media, an event to mark Youth Mental Health Day.
Our panel delved into the latest research happening at the Wolfson Centre, followed by a group discussion led by our Youth Advisors.
This interactive session was designed to foster open dialogue between the researchers and young people, and provide attendees with a deeper understanding of how social media can influence mental health, both positively and negatively. Attendees were encouraged to participate actively by asking questions in advance or during the live Q&A session.

Young people’s mood and wellbeing
Here Dr Rhys Bevan Jones talks about mood, well-being, and depression in young people – including how low mood or depression might present, possible underlying reasons and approaches to prevent and manage difficulties. It is in the context of the young person as well as their families/carers.
He also discusses a digital programme called ‘MoodHwb’, created to support mood and well-being, and developed with young people, families, carers and practitioners at Cardiff University. A trial of the programme is planned soon in Wales and Scotland.
Rhys is a psychiatrist and researcher at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Section, Department of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences, Cardiff University.
