Description

Attune is a participatory, arts-based approach to explore and understand the risk and resilience pathways from Adverse Childhood Experiences to adolescent mental health. Using the arts to generate rich accounts of lived experience, combined with large analyses of national datasets, Attune aims to generate new insights to inform action for youth mental health following early life adversity and trauma.
