An audio podcast by FY student Datanu Emouwhe on mental health & social media

 'The opportunities and challenges of adolescent mental health and social media’ 

About Datanu:

‘I am a passionate psychology student. Psychology is in everything which is why I love it so much. There are infinite things we haven’t discovered yet it has so many applications. I think it is the future and I’m glad I get to be a part of that future.’ 

Datanu discusses her project: 

‘Mental illness can affect anyone. But I feel it can be especially difficult for adolescents especially when their voices are not being heard. As digital “natives”, social media plays a big role in the lives of adolescents so it’s important to recognise the difficulties it may cause and how social media may help to resolve them’  (Emouwhe, 2024)
