The Ampersand Project is a new social enterprise that aims to improve the mental wellbeing of young adults. We do this by connecting research & real life. We want to provide a space & community where young people can connect with others who have experiences they can identify with – through content that promotes self-care & positive interventions, even in times of adversity, & delivers an actionable message to those who may need it. But we also endeavour to make a lasting impact in society – be it public, corporate, educational, or governmental spaces – by using research to connect institutions to the people they serve & to create a platform for young people to influence long term systemic change.
