We will present Aye Mind, a project funded by the European CHEST fund and a partnership between Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS, Snook, the Mental Health Foundation and Young Scot.

Co-design sessions with young people aged 13 to 21 identified what digital tools could improve mental wellbeing for them. We co-produced and delivered:

With a smartphone in one hand, pen and paper in the other and a voice recorder in her pocket, Eve holds a dual role at Snook, which includes communications and research.

Eve has worked on projects including AyeMind; the development of a youth worker's toolkit content and co-design workshop with young people; and user research with hundreds of lovely Glasgow citizens in development of the council's new website.
