iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We worked with young people & professionals to map mental health support. Systems based on age milestones, professional silos and diagnostic thresholds are missing crucial opportunities to offer help earlier and genuinely support young people. @centreformh.bsky.social @thecyberpsyche.bsky.social

This compelling piece by @cliffmanning.bsky.social @parentzone.org.uk and Natalie Foos at VoiceBox explores how hard it is for young people and parents to navigate autonomy and care in the era of pervasive digital technology. See our Grown Up? project bit.ly/3K1RAbE @thecyberpsyche.bsky.social

3️⃣ Support could come in different forms. Young people called for better regulation, effective content moderation, more parent involvement, consistent school policies and safer digital spaces where they can be themselves. Read all the insights in our latest report: bit.ly/DLDDWreportl...

Illustration of a large blue scribbled cloud with raindrops and handwritten phrases such as “Why didn’t you like my post?”, “Could you check this for me?”, “Emails”, “Texts”, and “Add me on LinkedIn!”. Below the cloud is a smaller image of a serene outdoor scene with a tree and sunlight, overlaid with words like “Leave me alone” and “Quick Zoom”. Bottom text reads: “Deep dive report – Digital lives” with a button labelled “Read now”.

2️⃣ Platforms are poorly regulated. Algorithms and online advertising often encourage addictive behaviours, intensify consumerism and leave young people frustrated by the manipulation and lack of control. Yet, some are finding ways to regain agency.

Illustrated flow of a person’s day linked by red arrows and demonstrating how embedded technology is in our everyday life. Starting at the top: a bed with “7:00am” noted, then a person checking a phone with a calendar and to-do list. Next, a laptop screen showing “Today’s tasks”, followed by a computer with a yoga class on the screen, and then a desk with a computer, plant, and stationery. Below, icons for social media and messaging apps connected to a smartphone. At the bottom, the same person appears again, lying in bed thinking about going on their phone. Caption reads: “Illustrations drawn from participants’ words by Lydia Hopkins design”.

They told us: 1️⃣ Constant access to digital technologies is a double-edged sword. While it connects them to opportunities and communities, it can also amplify pressure, misinformation and overwhelm. For them, social media is essential to communication, making it hard to step away.

Young people in care are being pushed into independence far sooner than their peers, & are faring particularly badly amidst the social & economic upheaval facing Gen Z.
