You are not alone – research report from OTR

OTR is really proud to launch a new research report called You are not alone. Working alongside a thoughtful and articulate group of young people, we explored social action and youth loneliness. We think there are some really interesting findings – and it feels particularly relevant to share our report at this difficult time where we are all probably experiencing some sort of isolation in lockdown. 

We’re really grateful to the young people who took part late last year to be researchers, and gave really thought-provoking insights on youth loneliness.

It taught us a lot about different young people’s experiences throughout what many people would call a ‘youth mental health crisis’ and we are now trying to develop a social, rather than medical, language and response.

We would like to thank the Co-op Foundation for providing the funding for this piece of work.
