Self-Initiated // Limbo

This project focuses on health uncertainties within young people and the mental impact it has. Since Covid-19, waiting times for NHS appointments have massively increased leaving many in difficult situations regarding their health. With the influence of social media, it is very easy for the younger generation to self-diagnose or fall down a spiral of searching every symptom, hoping for a clear answer.

The name Limbo refers to being stuck in the unknown with no clear sense of where you are. I intended to create a service driven by community to offer guidance and support to young people facing these challenges.
It is particularly focused at 16–25 year olds as they are enrolled in higher education whilst balancing a job therefore creating difficulty to cope and regulate emotions. Co-design was a huge part of the development of this project and also for the final desk display. I had 5 participants who provided experiences relating to Limbo therefore, making it easier to shape the brand identity and understand what the service should entail.

Limbo offers in-person meetings within schools and universities to complete workshops alongside others in the same situation. There is the opportunity for the school/university to elect a Limbo leader who hosts and organises each activity to ensure nobody is uncomfortable. The regular meetings are used as a tool for young people to utilise whenever they need.
