AWARE PROJECT

Social media has a significant impact on beliefs, opinions, and values, particularly in young individuals. In particular, the portrayal of mental health and illnesses on these platforms can influence the perceptions and well-being of young users.

About the Project

​How are mental illnesses represented on social media? Who shares this type of content, and how does it influence adolescents' perceptions and well-being? The AWARE project investigates these questions to provide a deeper understanding of how mental health is portrayed and perceived on social media, as well as to closely examine its impact on adolescents.
