aceYoung people’s perceptions and recommendations for conversational generative artificial intelligence in youth mental health
Conversational generative artificial intelligence agents (or genAI chatbots) could benefit youth mental health, yet young people's perspectives remain underexplored. We examined the Mental health Intelligence Agent (Mia), a genAI chatbot originally designed for professionals in Australian youth services. Following co-design, 32 young people participated in online workshops exploring their perceptions of genAI chatbots in youth mental health and to develop recommendations for reconceptualising Mia for consumers a…
Co-design workshops with 32 young people generated system requirements for reconceptualising the professional-focused Mia genAI chatbot for young consumers and integrating it into Australian youth services, with potential to benefit youth mental health.
Findings are bounded by a small co-design sample and a specific service context, as the work involved 32 young people and a chatbot originally designed for professionals in Australian youth services, so transferability to other populations and systems remains uncertain.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0127 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
