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 self-compassion and teach people 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 mental and physical wellbeing.
Taking part in the study will involve watching 12 online videos on how self-compassion skills can help you support your psychological wellbeing with living with type 1. The videos will be around 10 minutes on average, are free to watch and can be watched from the comfort of your own home. We will also be kindly asking you to complete some questionnaires at three different time points during the study.
