Co-creating a comic about self-harming experiences in young people
Overview
Help us to create a digital comic about self harm
We are looking for a small group of young people to help us develop a novel, comic-based resource about self-harm. The digital comic is intended to support young people and adults in understanding and responding to sensitive mental health issues. A series of 8-10 workshops will take place London to create the comic in Autumn this year. You must be over the age of 16 years to apply. We particularly welcome participants from marginalised and less represented groups, including BAME, LGBT+ and male participants, in order to represent a wide range of voices.
