This final chapter brings together our insights from conducting the project. Four of the young women who participated in across every stage of the project join us as co-authors as they document their journeys of participation. The chapter is metaphorically framed by a series of ‘destination points’, represented by five different platforms in a train station. The young women were supported to recall their experiences using a research journey template designed by a research team member. Framed around the concept of a train journey, each platform transports the young women back through the project, stopping at each of the co-design destinations they visited along the way. Here, the aim was to prompt deep reflection about their experiences throughout the life of the project: Platform 1—an online survey exploring young women’s experience of mental health peer support; Platform 2—online focus groups exploring the meaning of peer support; Platform 3—co-design workshops to develop the website wireframe; Platform 4—finalising the website, and Platform 5—launching the website. We enhance the chapter with a discussion around the politics of co-authorship and the benefits of participating in feminist research.

摘要

This final chapter brings together our insights from conducting the project. Four of the young women who participated in across every stage of the project join us as co-authors as they document their journeys of participation. The chapter is metaphorically framed by a series of ‘destination points’, represented by five different platforms in a train station. The young women were supported to recall their experiences using a research journey template designed by a research team member. Framed around the concept of a train journey, each platform transports the young women back through the project, stopping at each of the co-design destinations they visited along the way. Here, the aim was to prompt deep reflection about their experiences throughout the life of the project: Platform 1—an online survey exploring young women’s experience of mental health peer support; Platform 2—online focus groups exploring the meaning of peer support; Platform 3—co-design workshops to develop the website wireframe; Platform 4—finalising the website, and Platform 5—launching the website. We enhance the chapter with a discussion around the politics of co-authorship and the benefits of participating in feminist research.
