Supporting Marginalised Youth: Digital Inclusion, Mental Health, and Social Connection

McIntyre, J., McGregor, J., Conway, S., Tan, L. 2024. Digital media companies supporting marginalised young people’s digital inclusion, digital mental health, and social connection. Swinburne Ecosystem Seed Grant, Swinburne University of Technology

Details

Large media companies have social responsibility commitments but can be unsure how to best direct those resources. This pilot project initiates collaboration between industry partners and Non-Governmental Organisation to establish guidelines for how media companies can support the digital inclusion of marginalised young people. Digital participation is essential to equal participation and the wellbeing of young Australians, but research often overlooks those facing marginalisations.
