In our recent survey conducted with mental health professionals, exploring the role and impact of influencers and content creators emerged as one of the top five topics for further training.

​

 

During our collaboration with the Digital Dialogues Young Person’s Group (DDYPG), 10 of the members identified 27 different mental health content creators they regularly engaged with. These creators encompassed a diverse range of backgrounds, including healthcare professionals, fitness experts, and peers. Their discussions covered various themes such as lived experience with mental health conditions, self-care practices, body image, neurodiversity, and therapy. 

​

Collaboratively, we worked with the DDYPG to develop a poster and accompanying information document, aiming to explore the qualities they deemed essential for a mental health content creator to be considered trustworthy.
