About the Story Collector Project
The young people in our research wanted to hear stories about experiences of mental health, social media and influencer content.
Our team at McPin created resources for our Young People’s Advisory Group to take on the role of a story collector to collect honest stories about how they and their peers navigate social media content and mental health.
In the gallery below you will find the stories, poems, videos and paintings our young people collected. If you would like to find out more about how we collected these stories, you can find additional information here on The McPin Foundation website.
Disclaimer: These stories describe experiences of young people, some of the stories mention depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and eating disorders, as indicated by our content notes. Please read with care. There are details of where to find help at the bottom of this page.
