The focus of this project is to improve emotional wellbeing and mental health outcomes for children and young people through digital peer-support. A number of features will be tested throughout this project, focused on bringing young people together who have had a shared experience, and providing them with the functionality to support one another safely and anonymously. Features being tested include collaborative story writing, a 'request wall' for young people to seek support on specific issues from their peers, and community polls. A first-of-its-kind measure developed specifically for digital peer-support will be rolled out to demonstrate outcomes from the project.
