Researchers at the University of Surrey would like to recruit people aged 14-18 with type 1 diabetes to take part in a study that will help increase their self-compassion and teach them skills and techniques to be more kind and caring to themselves. Previous research has shown that self-compassionate acts and being kinder to ourselves can increase our physical and mental wellbeing.
Taking part in the study will involve watching 12 online videos on how self-compassion skills can help support the psychological wellbeing of people with living with Type 1. The videos will be around 10 minutes on average, free to watch, and can be watched in the comfort of your own home. We will also ask you to kindly complete some questionnaires at three different time points during the study.
