As children and young people’s social world becomes increasingly complex, the digital environment is recognised as a major contributing factor. Promoting a better understanding of how children and young people’s daily lives (school and family) are influenced by their digital experience presents a new and substantial challenge towards developing a positive culture of mental health.

e-Nurture explores how the digital environment has evolved, together with the ways in which children experience, interact and are influenced by it. The research conducted seeks to identify what these changes mean for children’s mental health - how we can recognise and disentangle digital risks from opportunities when working with families, schools and professional agencies when seeking to develop interventions to facilitate better mental health outcomes for children and young people.
