ATTUNE Research Project

🎥 On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we're thrilled to introduce our latest project: 'Just Surviving,' created in collaboration with the incredible @aardman animations. An animated journey born from the real-life experiences of those impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). 👇

At "The Disrupting Silence un-conference" at @falmouthuni Youth took centre stage as researchers, artists & truth-tellers, sharing stories not for sympathy, but for change. 💙 @UKRI_News #YouthMentalHealth #ATTUNE youtu.be/4pfir4xj2pE?fe… @KSBhui

The ATTUNE final conference wasn’t just wrapping up years of work, it was a celebration of young people’s voices, stories, and creativity in youth mental health. We shared films, conversations, quiet moments that reminded us real change is about listening and working together >

A huge thank you to our funders — UK Research and Innovation (@UKRI_News), the Arts and Humanities Research Council (@ahrcpress), and the Medical Research Council (@The_MRC) — for believing in this vision and making it possible.

This journey would not have been possible without the dedication our incredible academic team from the @UniofOxford @UniversityLeeds @FalmouthUni @UniofGreenwich @QMUL @UniKent each bringing their expertise, passion, and commitment to co-creating lasting impact >
