Experiences from the Baatcheet Young People’s Advisory Group (YPAG)

This video shares experiences from the Baatcheet Young People’s Advisory Group (YPAG) on designing a peer-delivered web-based storytelling for young people.
Baatcheet (‘conversation’ in Hindi) aims to co-design and evaluate a peer-delivered web-based storytelling intervention to reduce anxiety, depression, and social disability among youth aged 16-24 years. Baatcheet comprises a curated archive of English and Hindi personal narratives of anxiety and depression from youth in the target group, alongside evidence-based strategies to maximise behaviour change. Baatcheet draws on existing narratives from It’s Ok to Talk as well as new narratives written expressly for this programme.
Baatcheet is presently being evaluated via a study in New Delhi, India, to understand how the intervention is used and experienced.
Baatcheet is implemented in collaboration with King’s College London (KCL), UK.
