Conversational Media Supporting Group Intervention for Mental Health and Wellbeing
This project aims to adapt a conversational media platform (In The Room) to support Verbal's (a Northern Ireland charity) therapeutic storytelling techniques for mental health interventions, thereby providing support beyond the duration of the programme provided by Verbal.
It would also widen and scale Verbal's reach to more deprived communities, especially where sensitive topics are addressed by participants who find difficulties in engaging in a group setting or face to face.
