We are pleased to share the recording from our CoRay project webinar on December 2nd 2020 which focused on how we can best support young people aged 11-16 with their mental health during COVID-19 and beyond. We are very grateful to the Medical Research Council and the Westminster Foundation for supporting this work.
Visual representation of discussion
Artist Tom Bailey captured some images of our discussions to draw out the key themes both from the presentations and the break-out groups.
We were also delighted to be joined by young artists Tem, Freya and Ronni from Fully Focused Productions. They have also shared some of their responses here.
