What’s the project?
The study explores how AI chatbots could support social prescribing for young people experiencing mental health challenges. Social prescribing connects people to community activities (such as sports groups, arts programmes, volunteering etc.) to improve wellbeing.
Researchers are running participatory workshops with young people to test a prototype AI chatbot designed to help with daily reflection during social prescribing. Your feedback will help shape the next version of the chatbot.

You will be invited to take part in one online workshop (1.5 hours) on a date of your choice between 10th–24th November.
Before the workshop, we’ll ask you to complete a short 5-minute chatbot use for 1 day, to help you get familiar with the concept.
During the workshop, you’ll try out two chatbot prototypes and share your ideas on how to make them engaging, safe and useful for young people.

- Aged between 16 and 25
- Have access to a stable internet connection
- Have joined community or social activities for mental health support
You will receive a £10 voucher as reimbursement upon completing the workshop.
