In this special episode for Mental Health Awareness Week, host Siobhan Morris is joined by UCL academics Patrizia Pezzoli and Rochelle Burgess to discuss an innovative project focused on promoting safe adolescent relationships and tackling intimate partner violence (IPV) among young people.With research showing that nearly half of teenagers in romantic relationships have experienced violent or controlling behaviours, the project explores the mental health impacts of IPV through a cross-disciplinary, co-produced approach.The episode highlights the importance of involving young people in the research process and, in keeping with this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme of Action, reflects on the potential long-term impact this vital work could have on young people’s lives.Featured in this episode:Presenter: Siobhan MorrisGuests: Dr Patrizia Pezzoli & Professor Rochelle Burgess Producer: Annabelle Buckland For more information about UCL Grand Challenges and our ongoing efforts, please visit UCL Grand Challenges. Disruptive Voices is proudly produced by Decibelle Creative / @decibelle_creative
