The Attune project was a £3.9 million UKRI funded project that explored the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on adolescent mental health, seeking to understand the diverse mechanisms and intersectionality’s of place, gender, sexuality, socio-economic, neurodiversity and ethnicity amongst others. In addition to the extensive art-based research, three big data sets of HeadStart, OxWell and REACH have informed the insight captured throughout the project. We worked across Cornwall, Oxford, Kent, Leeds, and London with young people aged between 10 and 24 years old. The project optimised arts-based research methodology, qualitative methodology and quantitative analysis. A triangulation of lived experience and interdisciplinary research, explored through non-traditional means.
We are now coming to the end of the project and the young people that have been involved are leading the last impact and dissemination event.
We are delighted to be extending this personal invitation to you for our last conference of the Attune Project in Cornwall. The young people that have participated in the research in all forms—as participants, as part of the governance of the project, as crucial advisors to the project, as peer researchers and co-designers of the resources, as developers of the policy asks, as interpreters and translators of the research findings, and contributors to follow-on research bids—are leading this conference.
Through their work so far, it will not be a conference as we all know them, but an immersive experience where we see, hear, and live the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on their mental health. Their aim is to share, through the extensive art portfolio, the Attune Project insight in a way that we will never forget!
