Improving CYP mental health outcomes

We will support any projects that fall within the topics listed below or you may have your own project idea that you may want to discuss with us. The CYP mental health researchers work closely with all of the themes in the CYP research group, as mental health is a cross cutting theme through all domains of children’s health and wellbeing. If you have an idea related to any of the other themes, but which has a mental health outcome focus, we will be really pleased to talk to you about this.
