Professor Angie Hart, Boingboing, Brighton University, talks about building systems which reach young people from marginalised communities and minority groups, at the HeadStart Conference April 2015.
In today’s world, young people’s mental health is crucial. We developed innovative models to help them navigate their emotions. Our approach focused on lived experience and co-production, especially for neurodiverse individuals. We aimed to create a practical resource for their wellbeing.
This report presents the research and evaluation of the Resilience Revolution programme (2016-2022).
Created as part of the ongoing Community Solutions for Health Equity project that Boingboing Foundation are proudly part of, we are pleased to share recordings of a series of workshops held recently in Blackpool.
Hi, I’m Maya, and I wanted to say a big thank you to you for reading. These guides were created to help people in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast become more environmentally friendly, without feeling too overwhelmed by climate issues. They were produced as part of the Boingboing Activist in Residence project, which gave me the opportunity to work as an Eco-activist in Residence at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. I decided that I wanted to use this role to make two guides: one for local residents, and another for Blackpool Teaching Hospitals’ Green Champions.
For the past year and a half Boingboing has been working on a Research Ready Communities pilot project in Blackpool alongside the National Institute for Health Research as part of their Under-served Communities programme. Typically, much of the funding for health research in the UK goes to universities in London, Oxford and Cambridge, but health research is needed the most in places like Blackpool, where the harmful impacts of health inequalities are worst felt.

On 22nd February Grace and Lauren, members of the Activist Alliance, attended the show Loops at the Blackpool Grand Theatre. It was a play made in collaboration with Liverpool Everyman + Playhouse, 20 Stories High theatre company and, “a brilliant group of activists and artists who all shared important stories of what their experiences were, with courage, honesty and jokes”.
Co-leaders of the Resilience Revolution made not one, but two submissions to the UK Parliament ‘Prevention in Health and Social Care’ inquiry last month. The inquiry is about preventing ill health, now and in the future.
This Online Resilience Forum from CRSJ and Boingboing is for anyone interested in resilience research. This month’s forum is on ‘psychological distress and resilience among a population affected by conflict’ presented by University of Brighton PhD student Omar S Rasheed.
