Really good to hear MIE’s @olademk.bsky.social on Radio 4 earlier today talking about her important work on the mental health challenges affecting girls and young women - our colleagues here at Manchester really are driving many of the debates around mental wellbeing at the moment.

We're launching a timely project exploring how young people aged 11–18 engage with nature across Greater Manchester, with a focus on understanding gender‑related differences in participation. @uomhums.bsky.social @uomseed.bsky.social
Graphic with text asking: ‘Do you work with young people aged 11–18 in Greater Manchester? Do you organise activities in nature?’ It invites professionals to participate in a 45‑minute online or in‑person interview about gender differences in nature‑based activities. Eligibility criteria and contact email for Amy Phillips are included
