Psychosocial wellbeing
The aim of my research is to conduct a psychosocial exploration of the lived experiences of young adults’ with wellbeing concerns. Using multi-modal and participatory research, the study aims to give voice to young people, and to examine how the cultural, environmental and social resources within Wales may be better mobilised to reflect young peoples needs. Finally, through identifying places and activities within the community which may be ‘therapeutic’, I hope to make a contribution to psychosocial and relational understandings of wellbeing, and to the literature on therapeutic spaces.
