Have you experienced low mood or depression? Do you have a child aged 13-19 years?
If so, you and your child may be able to participate in a new UK-wide study called SWELL, run by Cardiff University. SWELL is trialling an online group wellbeing programme aiming to protect against depression symptoms in young people and also includes extra support for parent depression if needed. Families will receive up to £160 in vouchers.
