www.sussexdiscoverycollege.org.uk Young people from across East Sussex, aged 12-20, have been involved in developing a brand-new website for Discovery College. The college is a partnership of different organisations, headed by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, that create and deliver co-produced courses that any young person in East Sussex can join, to look after their mental health, enjoy themselves, be with other young people, and build their skills. Co-design is the guiding principle for Discovery College, a sister programme to Recovery College. Young people with lived experience of mental health challenges play a key role in designing the programme of arts and psycho-educational courses to support young people’s mental health. Discovery College has been running for a number of years. A new partnership with Lewes-based arts charity Culture Shift and support from Arts Council England is enabling Discovery College to expand and grow. “Young people have consistently told us that they want to show their communities and the world that experiencing mental health challenges is not a barrier to having strengths, talent, hopes and aspirations. Through the website they can now share this and more with us and, like everyone else involved with the project, I am delighted with the result.” “Designing Together was the name of the course we delivered to a really switched on group of young people, reflected Ross Andrews Clifford and Chloe Taylor, web designer and developer. `Everyone ought to be proud of what they achieved; a dynamic and interactive resource and information website for Discovery College’s courses, which will bring awareness to its uniquely supportive role within the mental health arena for vulnerable young people.” The website helps shine a light on a support programme for young people and the evolving programme of arts and psycho-education courses.

Young people often want to co-design a web site or blog. They want to see the creative process of someone else’s work, and they want to see what other people are doing. In reality, you should not only sit back and watch the process; you need to be involved in a co-design process as well. A Masterbundles is a bundle of Photoshop images that was uploaded to a popular image hosting website. This will give you the skills, experience and knowledge to be able to be involved in producing a great design. 18/6/2022 02:40:04 pm
Young people design a website about mental health for young people worldwide, which contains learning modules, videos, and other resources. In order to reach the most young people possible, we will also be using social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This project is based on research into young people's needs and experiences of living with mental health challenges in their teenage year. 14/10/2022 04:20:44 pm
Nice to see you! Online video chat therapy has been a great support on my journey to studying more about myself. I found this Calmerry company when I was recently diagnosed with depression and major anxiety. They utilized email, chats and weekly phone calls, and I never felt alone. I highly advice their really good agency. These fantastic therapists are professional and very patient, and I look forward to visiting with them again and again in the nearest future! 15/4/2023 06:09:14 am
This is a project I did with two students. One was an art student and the other a computer science major. The goals were to build a website that would allow people to share their own experiences, as well as offer support groups, workshops and resources they can use while going through mental health issues. 18/4/2023 11:14:44 am
It's incredibly inspiring to see young people taking the initiative to co-design a website that tackles mental health. This collaborative effort not only provides a platform for raising awareness but also empowers the youth to speak up about their struggles and seek help. It's heartening to know that the younger generation is taking mental health seriously and taking proactive steps to address it. This project is a testament to the power of collective action and the potential of young people to effect positive change in society. Leave a Reply. |
