All our work

In partnership with Care City, UCL, the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH) and local mental health trusts, we are developing and piloting the effectiveness of an evidence-based competence framework and training curriculum for peer support workers, to improve the implementation of this role across the mental health system.

Approximately one in four people will experience a mental health problem each year. We work with our partners and patients to deliver sustainable impact in mental health care.

Children and young people who are referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health services can face an 18 month wait for initial assessment. During this period, there is no guarantee of support from health services. This programme will provide materials and training to enable GPs to signpost young people to digital support services whilst they await CAMHS care.

i-THRIVE supports care providers to implement the THRIVE framework - an integrated, person-centred, and needs-led approach to delivering mental health services for children, young people and their families.

We are supporting Imperial College Health Partners to coordinate a Greater London Authority scheme to help rough sleepers with mental health needs.

Together with UCL, we have partnered with the American healthcare innovation company Mindstrong to find a solution to monitoring relapse in adults with severe mental illness. Through this partnership we aim to find effective and efficient solutions to getting early help to patients with mental health problems.

Bringing together police and healthcare professionals to make a positive difference to the lives of people with complex mental health needs.

We are working with Care City, North East London Foundation Trust, Essex Partnership University Trust, University College London and xim Ltd. to test new technology for the contactless monitoring of patient’s vital signs.
