interactive activities

An innovative way for young people to interact with the headspace website 

Interactive Activities are bite-sized modules of interactive content that encourage young people to actively reflect on their own needs, engage in skill building and set meaningful goals to improve their mental health.

headspace consulted with young people, and family supporting young people, to better understand how they engage with online content and what they expect from accessing the headspace website. They reported that existing static web content wasn’t meeting their needs and that they wanted solutions-focused, skills-based material to help them handle life’s challenges, without needing to speak to a clinician.

headspace National acknowledges the development work undertaken by headspace Sunshine and headspace Glenroy, particularly their youth advisory groups, in the creation of the Brief Interventions Toolkit.

With the launch of Interactive Activities, headspace would also like to acknowledge and thank Alex Parker (Victoria University) and Carsten Schley (headspace Sunshine) for their valuable contribution to the project, and also our digital delivery partner Portable, for their significant development work.
