Take Part in a Research Project

The charity Anna Freud is looking for young women aged 16 to 25 to get involved in a research project called My Story and Me. The research project aims to tackle the rising levels of mental health problems for young women and girls by providing an online storytelling tool that helps them understand and talk about their mental health.

You can get involved by attending workshops to help design and develop a web-based video platform, or by being part of a young person advisory group (YPAG) to advise on various aspects of this research project. 

They’re particularly keen to hear from LGBTQI+ young people, neurodiverse young people and those from racially minoritised groups.
