Event Details

The webinar will provide a case study of a 12-month co-design process conducted with young people with chronic illness to create Coping Compass, a new brief online positive psychology program which aims to support young people’s coping skills and wellbeing in the face of health challenges. This webinar will provide an overview of the co-design process, highlighting effective strategies for engaging youth people with chronic conditions. It will also outline the key findings from the co-design process and provide a demonstration of Coping Compass to illustrate how these findings were implemented into tangible program elements.
