In our fast-changing society, poor mental health and social isolation are increasing among young people, exacerbated by the pandemic. Belonging – feeling connected to and accepted by others through supportive interpersonal relationships – is key to boosting mental health and overcoming loneliness. There is a lack of evidence-based interventions addressing belonging, particularly in schools, which remains a central space for adolescent socialisation. Digital technologies, while disrupting the social landscape, offer enormous potential for adolescent health management. This project develops Augmented Social Play (ASP), a pioneering digital mental health intervention format whose feasibility has been established through proof-of-concept prototype. ASP uses smartphones to deliver real world group experiences that combine immersive storytelling, augmented reality, collaborative face-to-face gameplay and evidence based psychotherapeutic methodologies to boost individuals’ mental health while fostering a greater sense of belonging within the group. Collaborating across academia, industry, education, health and the arts, and working with young people, we will co-develop ASP #1, a full-scale, multi-session intervention. We will implement this intervention in schools in Portugal, Czechia, and the UK, using strategies informed by policy review, and evaluate its efficacy, cost-effectiveness and implementation in order to present an evidence base to stakeholders including policy-makers, practitioners and media, stimulating wide uptake. We will further evolve ASP by collaborating with vulnerable adolescents to ensure we meet the widest spectrum of needs; by prototyping additional ASP interventions aimed at different populations and threats to mental health; and by creating comprehensive ethical guidelines. Our long-term goal is wide-scale adoption of ASP, making multiple smartphone-delivered group mental health interventions freely accessible to diverse populations and settings.

在我们瞬息万变的社会中，年轻人的心理健康和社会隔离正在增加，这受到大流行的加剧。归属感 - 通过支持人际关系与他人联系并接受的感觉 - 是促进心理健康和克服孤独感的关键。缺乏针对归属的循证干预措施，特别是在学校中，这仍然是青少年社会化的中心空间。数字技术在破坏社会格局的同时，为青少年健康管理提供了巨大的潜力。该项目开发了增强的社交游戏（ASP），这是一种开创性的数字心理健康干预格式，其可行性是通过概念验证原型确定的。 ASP使用智能手机提供现实世界中的团体体验，这些体验结合了沉浸式讲故事，增强现实，协作的面对面游戏玩法以及基于证据的心理治疗方法，以促进个人的心理健康，同时培养该小组中更大的归属感。在学术界，工业，教育，健康和艺术之间进行合作，并与年轻人合作​​，我们将共同开发ASP＃1，这是一种全面的多课程干预。我们将使用政策审查告知的策略对葡萄牙，捷克和英国的学校进行这种干预，并评估其有效性，成本效益和实施，以便向包括决策者，从业者和媒体在内的利益相关者提供证据基础，并刺激广泛的吸收。我们将通过与脆弱的青少年合作来进一步发展ASP，以确保我们满足最广泛的需求；通过制定针对不同人群和对心理健康威胁的其他ASP干预措施；并通过创建全面的道德准则。我们的长期目标是对ASP的广泛采用，使多个智能手机的心理健康干预措施免费访问潜水员和环境。
