Designing With, Not For: Digital Mental Health Research with Underserved Young People and Families

Part of the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Seminar Series

Digital technologies offer new possibilities for supporting young people’s mental health, but their benefits may not reach everyone equally. Drawing on a decade of research, this talk explores how digital mental health research can be designed with, rather than for, underserved young people and families. Through evidence and practical examples, I will examine how co-design can move beyond consultation towards meaningful partnership, and consider what this means for creating more acceptable, engaging and equitable digital mental health support.

Dr Liverpool is an Associate Professor at the Health Research Institute at Edge Hill University and an Atlantic Fellow for Health Equity at George Washington University. Dr Liverpool holds leadership roles within the Research Centre for Arts and Wellbeing and teaches on the Child and Adolescent Mental Health programmes.
