Empowering Youth: BrainWaves and Adolescent Mental Health Research

We are pleased to announce that Leweston School has renewed our partnership with BrainWaves, an exciting new mental health and wellbeing research project. BrainWaves is a registered independent charity working in partnership with the University of Oxford, the University of Swansea and The Day, the online student newspaper that turns news into lessons.

Today’s young people face difficult mental health challenges in a world full of conflicting, confusing and often incorrect information. BrainWaves is a direct response to this. It aims to improve the quality of scientific knowledge about adolescent mental health and provide evidence-based, practical strategies and educational materials to schools.

BrainWaves is creating a large-scale national student group to participate in research and help develop our understanding of adolescent mental health and wellbeing. Our pupils have been participating in various BrainWaves studies, and we will be continuing to work closely to support BrainWaves in their research.

We are excited that our students will have the unique opportunity to shape the landscape of adolescent mental health. If you would like to know more about the project, please visit brainwaveshub.org
