The UKRI funded and NIHR supported project explores the lived experiences of young people (aged 10-24 years) in England who may have experience adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Within this project, we aim to answer two overarching questions:

  1. How do ACEs impact young people’s mental health and lives, considering psychological, geographical, social, and economic factors?
  2. Can creative and participatory arts methods help us gather new insights to better understand ACEs and develop prevention and care strategies?

Our innovative approach uses various creative methods, such as art, storytelling, and digital games, to engage young people.
