Young people are increasingly engaged with digital technology with the majority connecting to different social media on a daily basis. The speed with which new technologies are emerging is exponential. We also know that the rates of MH concerns in YP are increasing; with 75% of MH problems presenting and being established before the age of 24 (50% before the age of 14). It is estimated that 20% of adolescents are experiencing a MH concern on an annual basis. The growing importance of engaging with and developing new technologies has been recognised within several government policy documents and E-Health strategies for health and social care have been developed in all four regions of the UK. There is a recognised need to develop online support mechanisms that offer tailored advice or emergency support during both in and out-of-hours periods. The recent COVID19 pandemic has also resulted in a rapid move within clinical services to utilise technology for service delivery; replacing the traditional face-to-face provision. It is believed that virtual modalities will be required extensively now and in the future. This project seeks to establish an interdisciplinary network, which will focus on the use of technology in supporting YP who are experiencing psychological distress; in particular as it relates to help seeking, stigma (a prejudice and discrimination towards someone directly because of a MH issue that they have) reduction and interventions/treatments. The project therefore aims to address two key challenges: 1. Identify existing and emerging digital technologies that promote MH help-seeking and stigma reduction in YP at risk of MH problems and 2.Understand how existing and newly developed technologies can influence (positively and negatively) adolescent MH concerns and what aspects of these technologies can support those with mental ill health in addition to what aspects can promote resilience. To do this, we will work closely with a young person's advisory group; placing their voice central to all activities, including the preparation of this proposal. Indeed, eight YP were consulted in early May and were fundamental to helping shape the Mood Movement network, activities, stakeholders, and planned outputs. This project therefore seeks to update existing knowledge about how and in what ways YP use technology, both existing and emerging, to support a variety of aspects related to their MH. We will do this through five inter-related work-packages; 1) First, we will develop a project brand, website and social media presence to ensure visibility across the sector and within the public, helping us to also get information out to others as quickly as possible; 2) Second, we will engage with YP and their parents/caregivers to ensure that the network structure, stakeholders and activities are all mapping to the topics and issues that are important to them. We want to ensure that our focus and questions are clear, relatable, and meaningful; 3) The third and largest work package will involve hosting four events engaging with a wide range of professionals and early career researchers on key topics within the field, 4) Following the four events, the fourth work package involves the core research team and the young person's advisory group meeting with the MH Foundation to consolidate the knowledge into a first draft consensus statement and research priorities; and 5) The fifth and final work package will undertake a survey of national and international experts concerning the content of the consensus statement to seek their views and agreement. The finalised consensus statement will be shared widely in the UK, Ireland, and internationally ensuring it is useful to those who both experience psychological distress and those who support YP experiencing psychological distress. This will be nationally and internationally relevant given the common nature of online technologies, and access to international content across countries.

年轻人越来越多地参与数字技术，大多数人每天都连接到不同的社交媒体。新技术出现的速度是指数级的。我们还知道，在YP的MH问题的比率正在增加;与MH问题的75%，并在24岁之前（14岁之前的50%）建立。据估计，每年有20%的青少年正在经历MH问题。参与和开发新技术的日益重要性已在几个政府政策文件中得到认可，联合王国的所有四个地区都制定了健康和社会保健的电子健康战略。人们认识到，需要建立在线支助机制，在工作时间内和工作时间外提供有针对性的咨询或紧急支助。最近的COVID-19大流行也导致临床服务迅速转向利用技术提供服务，取代传统的面对面服务。据认为，现在和将来将广泛需要虚拟模式。该项目旨在建立一个跨学科网络，重点是利用技术支持正在经历心理困扰的青年P;特别是因为它涉及寻求帮助，减少污名化（直接因为他们有心理健康问题而对某人的偏见和歧视）和干预/治疗。因此，该项目旨在解决两个关键挑战：1。识别现有的和新兴的数字技术，促进MH求助和减少YP在MH问题的风险和耻辱2.了解现有的和新开发的技术如何影响（积极和消极）青少年MH的关注，这些技术的哪些方面可以支持那些有精神疾病的健康除了哪些方面可以促进弹性。为此，我们将与一个青年咨询小组密切合作;将他们的声音置于所有活动的中心，包括编写这一建议。事实上，五月初咨询了八个YP，这些YP对帮助塑造情绪运动网络、活动、利益相关者和计划产出至关重要。因此，该项目旨在更新现有的知识，如何以及以何种方式YP使用现有和新兴的技术，以支持与他们的MH相关的各个方面。我们将通过五个相互关联的工作包来做到这一点：1）首先，我们将开发一个项目品牌，网站和社交媒体，以确保在整个行业和公众中的知名度，帮助我们尽快向他人提供信息; 2）其次，我们将与YP及其父母/照顾者接触，以确保网络结构，所有利益攸关方和活动都与对其重要的主题和问题相对应。我们希望确保我们的重点和问题是明确的，相关的，有意义的; 3）第三个也是最大的一个工作包将涉及举办四个活动，与广泛的专业人士和早期职业研究人员就该领域的关键主题进行接触，4）在四个活动之后，第四个工作包包括核心研究小组和青年顾问小组与MH基金会举行会议，将知识整合为一个第一份协商一致声明草案和研究优先事项; 5）第五份也是最后一份工作包将对国家和国际专家就协商一致声明的内容进行调查，以征求他们的意见和同意。最终的共识声明将在英国，爱尔兰和国际上广泛分享，以确保它对那些经历心理困扰的人和那些支持YP经历心理困扰的人有用。鉴于在线技术的共同性质以及各国获取国际内容的机会，这将具有国家和国际意义。
