Young people’s thoughts, feelings and coping strategies report

The aim of this research report was to find out what problems or difficulties young people were facing in their daily lives and what coping strategies or sources of support they were using.

For two weeks, between Monday 23rd November and Sunday 6th December, twelve young people were asked how they were feeling, how their day went and what helped, or didn’t help, with their feelings and emotions.

They were encouraged to be as creative as they wanted in response to the twice-daily messages they were sent.  They responded using a variety of methods, from texts to voice notes, videos, emojis, GIFs and photos.
