Take part in a research study on what depression and recovery mean to you

Hey everyone,

The Mix have been contacted by a Trainee Clinical Psychologist, Megan Dixon, from the University of Nottingham, who'd love your help in learning more about young people's views of depression and recovery.

Click here for the link to take part, and see below for a bit more information about the study:

Title of study: Adolescent's Views of Depression and Recovery

Do you feel that you are experiencing depression? Are you between 12 and 17 years old? Would you like to take part in a research study? If you're a teenager, we would like to understand what depression means to you, and how you understand recovery.

What would I be doing?
- If you wanted to take part, you would be asked to have a conversation with one of the researchers either over the phone or video call
- Conversations will be audio recorded
- No one will be able to identify you from the research

Why might I want to take part?
- Although the results might not affect you directly, we hope that this research will improve awareness for mental health services of how teenagers make sense of depression and recovery
- You will get a £10 voucher as a thank you for taking part

Please click this link if you would like to take part: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=7qe9Z4D970GskTWEGCkKHqWHnkEZk51FoqX_8zt2211UN1NNWUo5SlBTOTdXS0NBQUhZQTNUVEJCMi4u

If you are under 16 then we will need your parent or carer/guardian to agree that you can take part and we will need their contact details for this.

Researchers: Megan Dixon (Trainee Clinical Psychologist), Dr Anna Tickle (Clinical Psychologist), Dr Faye Devlin (Clinical Psychologist), Dr Rohan Naidoo (Clinical Psychologist).
We're @Aoife, @Ella, @Gemma, and @JustV - the staff team here at The Mix.

Our DMs are monitored Monday - Friday (10am - 5pm) with limited cover on weekends. We have a great team of moderators looking after the community outside of those hours to check in on any reported posts.

We're not able to provide support on this account. If you need support urgently for any reason, please call 999, go to your nearest A&E or contact Crisis Messenger by texting THEMIX to 85258.

    I'm guessing it wouldn't be able to be done over chatwee as its not something the mix is physically involved with , there just promoting this on behalf of a student who has contacted them @Past User

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    @Millie2787 is right here (as per). :)

    What you could do @Past User is sign up to take part, then if there's a space for you to ask questions or contact the researcher directly, ask them if they can provide a text-based option. They might be able to offer that even if it's not explicitly mentioned in the ad.
