At "The Disrupting Silence un-conference" at @falmouthuni Youth took centre stage as researchers, artists & truth-tellers, sharing stories not for sympathy, but for change. 💙 @UKRI_News #YouthMentalHealth #ATTUNE youtu.be/4pfir4xj2pE?feature… @KSBhui

A huge thank you to our funders — UK Research and Innovation (@UKRI_News), the Arts and Humanities Research Council (@ahrcpress), and the Medical Research Council (@The_MRC) — for believing in this vision and making it possible.

This journey would not have been possible without the dedication our incredible academic team from the @UniofOxford @UniversityLeeds @FalmouthUni @UniofGreenwich @QMUL @UniKent each bringing their expertise, passion, and commitment to co-creating lasting impact >

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 >

"See me as a person, not just a case file, a paper" — a young person's reflection on feeling invalidated. #AttuneImpactandDisseminationConference

Dr. Georgina Hosang presenting key results from Workpackage 2, exploring the emotional impacts of youth adversity, new insights from Q-Well 2023 data, and the vital role of support from carers and friends #ATTUNE #MentalHealthResearch #YouthWellbeing #WP2

Co-PI Prof. Minhua Eunice Ma presenting Work Package 4 at the ATTUNE Conference. #ATTUNE2025Conference #YouthMentalHealth #TraumaResearch #Oxford #FalmouthUniversity

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. #ATTUNE2025 #CreativeResearch #MentalHealthMatters #YouthVoices

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

🎭 “We must be careful with the word creative. It’s often used too lightly. But real creativity in research starts with recognising different forms of knowledge — and letting them lead.” — Sylvan Baker at #ATTUNEImpact and DisseminationConference

🧩 “The power lies in working with participants, not on them.” Sylvan Baker challenges extractive research traditions and invites us to co-create knowledge with care and humility. #ATTUNEProject #CoProduction #ParticipatoryResearch

🎤 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. #ATTUNEProject #ResearchCulture #ParticipatoryResearch

🧑‍🍳📱"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. #YouthMentalHealth #CoCreation #ATTUNE
