O aplikaciji

We’re Not Invincible was made in collaboration with Medics Against Violence, a Scotland-based charity rooted in clinician-led programs aiming to inform young people and healthcare professionals of the consequences of violence and domestic abuse, The Glasgow School of Art, and the University of Glasgow.

Traumatic injuries are a striking global issue, with traumatic facial injuries being particularly dangerous – there is a greater concentration of nerves and blood vessels in the facial region, and thin facial bones are more prone to fracture. These injuries disproportionately affect adolescent boys in disadvantaged communities, and they are often linked with alcohol misuse and interpersonal violence. Despite the significant physical, psychological, and financial costs that accompany these injuries, they remain under-addressed in health education efforts targeting vulnerable youth. Moreover, adolescents often perceive themselves as invincible, a perspective encouraged by unrepresentative media depictions of action, violence, and injury recovery. This application aims to provide an accessible and interactive resource for adolescent audiences that spreads awareness of the severity of traumatic facial injuries and discourages related violence and beliefs of invincibility.
