Reflections: Young People, Magazines and Mental Health is a collaborative research project between LJMU Special Collections & Archives, LJMU Media, Culture, Communication, and LJMU Psychology, to examine the social themes related to mental health within 1970s and 1980s magazines for women and girls. As part of this project, two Psychology students at MSc and BSc level curated this exhibition using material from our Femorabilia collection, focusing in particular on Jackie and Just Seventeen.
