The ATTUNE final conference wasn’t just wrapping up years of work, it was a celebration of young people’s voices, stories, and creativity in youth mental health. We shared films, conversations, quiet moments that reminded us real change is about listening and working together >

Prof. Nicola Shaughnessy sharing discoveries from ATTUNE “Creative practices help reframe mental health, not just for participants, but for society.” External factors. Present experiences. Art as understanding.

Chloe Farahar speaking at the #ATTUNE2025Conference, sharing powerful methods for collecting young people's voices through creative practice. A reminder: stories are data especially when told through emotion, objects, and lived experience. #YouthMentalHealth #ACES
"Art-based health research is gaining traction not just for discovery, but for meaning-making and powerful dissemination. RCTs and system data have their place, they often miss depth and richness of lived experience," Anna Mankee Williams
#ATTUNEImpactandDisseminationConference
🎤 Sylvan Baker opens his keynote: “Research Incorporated” — a reflection on coming together, research as currency, and (quietly) a nod to a certain monster-filled film about community.

🧑🍳📱"From FaceTiming mum in my Oxford basement kitchen after waterlogging the microwave, to leading meetings at that very table — my #ATTUNEProject journey has been full of messy, meaningful moments. Research isn’t separate from life, it lives alongside it," Jack Hanrahan (YPAG)
"This isn’t just a conference — it’s a collective moment. Every conversation today matters. Be present, be with each other. ATTUNE worked because we did it together." – Prof. Kam Bhui opens the final #ATTUNEProject conference.

• Invalidation isn’t just emotional — your nervous system remembers
• One moment of being seen can interrupt years of shame
• Being queer isn’t a disorder — shame makes it feel like one
• Climate anxiety + money stress are mental health issues too
