The Digital Youth programme brings together a talented team with a diverse range of expertise, skills and experiences. This includes young people with lived experience expertise and researchers from a range of disciplines. Our Digital Definitions and Debates project makes the most of the opportunity this diversity in expertise and experience offers. We are:
- Compiling and creating short and clear explanations of commonly used language in Digital Youth mental health research.
- Hosting workshops to share and explore our understandings of more complex and contested terms where different perspectives are important.
We hope that this project will:
- Build understanding, facilitate meaningful conversations and enable further collaboration across our Digital Youth team.
- Provide a useful resource for Digital Youth team members and beyond.

This is something that needs to change. It is hoped that the continued growth of these supportive online communities will eventually erode the stigmas which present a life-threatening risk to men. The question that remains is how can we maximise the positive influences of these supportive online communities while minimising those that are toxic and harmful?
