May 2020 Learning from the Experts: short presentations and online activities
Learning from the Experts is a participatory research project by the University of Bedfordshire, with support from the Association for Young People’s Health. It explores the mental health and wellbeing needs of young people who experience sexual abuse in adolescence. It’s funded by the NSPCC and ESRC.
Five short presentations about the Learning from the Experts Project and what we’ve learnt so far
We’d like anybody who has taken part in the project - young people, parents and professionals - to watch these films and share their feedback via the survey or email.
BUT we know people are busy! If you don’t have time to watch them all we’d particularly like feedback on our early findings - presentation 5.
