Young People's Emotional Processing with Essi

Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people.
