Adolescent mental health

We are working with young people, their families and communities on the development and deployment of new innovations to improve adolescent mental health, focusing most on predictive and early treatment interventions.

Mental health concerns among young people are on the rise and many young people are living in difficulty. An estimated 75% of all mental health problems are diagnosed by the age of 25 with those living in more deprived areas more likely to experience mental health problems. 

Our partnership contains strong clinical and academic mental health expertise with six mental health trusts across our region and UCL, whose research power in psychology, psychiatry and neuroscience is recognised as the best in the UK. We are committed to working together to reduce the development and escalation of mental health problems in the young.
