Youth mental health and wellbeing is often approached as a collection of problems to be solved, rather than part of a holistic vision to be achieved. A flourishing society requires investment in young people that focus not only on minimising deficits or treating issues, but also on building capacity and skills that will enable them to be healthy, resilient and well-prepared for their lives.
Lifehack is a space where people can come together to develop new approaches, projects and ventures, with young people at the centre of the process. We bridge backgrounds, skill sets and place, and empower young people and communities to redefine their own version of success. In short, Lifehack is the R&D ground for Youth Wellbeing interventions.
In the last 2 years, Lifehack has moved away from trying to “solve” youth mental health issues with smartphone apps and stepped into the systemic questions:
What are the key components of wellbeing for a young person?
How might user-centered technology contribute to this?
What’s getting in the way?
How do we get beyond that?
