Abstract(s)

The mental health of university students is increasingly in the spotlight, particularly after the Covid-19 pandemic. This phase of their lives coincides with the presence of specific psychiatric challenges, and depressive symptoms are particularly relevant in these students. This study aims to develop a design framework for social change that seeks to intervene in the educational climate of students with depressive symptoms. Integrating the social change model with design methodologies aims to lead to positive changes in the school environment for young people, involving the participation of the school community.
