The Day Weekly Newsletter | 18 October
The recent piece in The Times and Financial Times on The Day's exciting partnership with Oxford University to research adolescent mental health has sparked an incredible response.
This landmark study is poised to be the most comprehensive scientific exploration of teenage wellbeing in the UK. More importantly, it holds the potential to address the urgent mental health crisis young people face today.
While the headline findings may seem familiar — social media use, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise are closely tied to depression and anxiety —this is just the tip of the iceberg. It will allow us to untangle the complex web of factors impacting young people's mental health and pave the way for practical, non-medical interventions.
This is just the beginning. Do have a look at BrainWaves to find out more.
Have a great weekend,
