=== Project description ===
Poor mental health and social isolation are on the rise among young people, exacerbated by the pandemic. Supportive relationships play a crucial role in mental health and addressing loneliness. Schools currently lack evidence-based interventions to foster a sense of belonging. The EU-funded ASP-belong project has developed Augmented Social Play (ASP), a digital mental health intervention that utilises smartphones to facilitate group experiences. ASP incorporates elements of storytelling, augmented reality, gameplay and psychotherapeutic techniques to enhance mental well-being and foster a sense of group belonging. The project will engage stakeholders in the creation of ASP #1 and its implementation in schools located in Czechia, Portugal and the United Kingdom. This can encourage adoption by policymakers, practitioners and the media.
