What happens when psychologists, programmers, designers, educators and entrepreneurs get together on a sunny and warm Saturday to create new digital tools? Really exciting stuff.
On September 10th, some 30 people gathered for the third edition of Health Hack Academy at H2 Health Hub to co-create new tools to improve mental health among young people.
The mental health of young people is a challenge that we all need to try to help out to grips with. From Stockholm Science City's side, we wanted to explore how a one-day hackathon gathering people with different skills could be a path to find new solutions. The challenges focused on how to use new technology and new methods to raise awareness about mental health in schools and create tools so that young people could more easily share their experiences and find help. Focus was on the age group 11-15 years.
