YSS secures OSC grant to investigate impact of online media exposure on children of prisoners
YSS is extremely excited to announce that we have recently been awarded an Open Societal Challenges funding grant for our new research project exploring the psychological impact of online media exposure on children affected by familial crimes.
The project, titled An Investigation into the Impact of Online Media Exposure of Familial Crimes on Children, is a collaborative effort between YSS and the Children’s Research Centre (CRC) at The Open University (OU). It aims to fill a significant gap in understanding how media coverage of family-related crimes affects young people, while also developing resources to help them navigate the emotional complexities that arise from such exposure.
Through this grant, YSS and the OU are poised to make a lasting impact on the well-being of children and young people who are exposed to traumatic media coverage, helping them heal and thrive in the face of adversity.
